The court rejected the petition filed to suspend the A / L schedule

The Court of Appeal today rejected a petition filed by a civil activist seeking a court order suspending the time table issued for the G.C.E. Advanced Level examination, which is scheduled to commence from February 07, 2022.

He says that the Director General of the National Institute of Education had therefore recommended to the government to postpone the A/L exam for at least 20 weeks from November in order to provide students with that lost time once again.

The attorney therefore requested the court to issue an interim order suspending the time table of the Advanced Level examination, which is to commence on February 07, and also requested the court to order education authorities to postpone the exam by 20 weeks.

However, two intermediate petitions had been filed by attorney representing two students who are sitting for the A/L exam this year, arguing that the court of appeal had no authority to grant the relief sought in the petition.
