Admission cards can be used as curfew passes during the GCE Advanced Level and Grade 5 scholarship examinations, SSP Ruwan Gunasekera said today while addressing the media in Colombo.
He said a parent or a guardian can accompany the students if needed and admission cards could be presented as curfew passes.
Gunasekera also said that public transport operating through the areas under curfew, will be allowed to stop in the curfew areas on the days of the examinations, only to provide transportation facilities to GCE Advanced Level and Grade 5 scholarship examination students and their guardians.
He urged parents or guardians waiting outside examination centres for their children to strictly maintain social distancing.
Gunasekera said that students in the curfew areas but are from schools situated outside the curfew areas, can sit for the exams in the special examinations centres to be established in the areas under curfew.
He said that plans were underway to establish several special examination centers in these areas.
