The Ministry of Education says that the mandatory school attendance requirement of 80% for students to sit for the G.C.E. Advanced Level examination will be reintroduced from 2023 onwards. 

It was informed by the letter of the Secretary of Education No. ED/09/Ads(SAS)/7 dated 12.08.2022 that the confirmation of 80% attendance is NOT essential only for the students sitting for G.C.E. (Advanced Level) examination in 2022.

Accordingly, as this exception is relevant only to the students sitting for G.C.E. (Advanced Level) examination in 2022, it is hereby informed that 80% school attendance is compulsory for the students sitting for G.C.E. (Advanced Level) examination from 2023.
