Because of a serious exam. Dept. fault all data destroyed , but Govt. hiding details – Akila Kariyawasam

At today’s UNP media briefing more light was thrown on this unpardonable blunder committed by the regime , its Minister and its education officials.
After the earlier results were withdrawn , and when the results after another scrutiny were released , a father of a student told me , his son who was selected on the first result release for medical College had been ousted in the second result announcement. Kurunegala district UNP M P Akila Kariyawasam who revealed this pathetic plight of just one of the countless students who had met with similar fates went on to cite another instance , where because of the fault of examination Department , the results when being fed into the computer, there had been a serious lapse which had led to all the data getting destroyed. The Kurunegala M P made all these shocking disclosures when addressing a media briefing today(27) at the Opposition official residence.
The Govt . stated that the results had to be amended because there was a difference between the talents of the students district wise and Island wide . But this amendment owing to the talents district wise and those Island wide generally cannot be done in a day. Hence , this release of the amendment results is false , misleading and a deliberate lie. The MP with profound concern urged the Govt. not to poke fun at serious issues as these where the child’s life and future are at stake , and the country’s future depends on.
