The national assessment of grade 8 was conducted in 2005 and 2008 for first languages, science and technology, and Mathematics. 168 The proportion of students who scored over 50 percent in Mathematics increased by 30 percentage points. The improvement for English was a tepid 3 percentage points, however, while there was a negligible decline for first languages.

Educational Performance: Senior Secondary Schools National O-Level examinations are required for entrance to collegiate level education. Students passing six subjects, including a first language and mathematics, and having at least three credit passes qualify to pursue A-Level studies. 169 The O-Level pass rate for 2010 rose to 58 percent from 48 percent in 2009, and from 43 percent in 2003 (Table 4.8). 170 Pass rates for mathematics, science and English increased to 62, 60 and 41 percent, respectively, from 2009. 171 Each year, about 200,000 students take the A-Level examinations required for entry to public universities. The pass rate rose from 44 percent in 2003 to 61 percent in 2010, but the quality of education has not improved, especially in providing the competencies required by the labour market. The Educated: Distribution Across the Country Sri Lankans have become more educated over the years. The highest level of completed formal education for younger people is above that of older age groups. The pass rate on the O-Level exam for people 20-30 years old is 40 percent compared to 20 percent for people 50 years and above (Figure 4.7).
