2022 (2023) GCE Ordinary Level (O/L) examination admission cards should not be withheld by the principals without giving them to the candidates for any reason, the Education Ministry announced to all principals yesterday.   

The Ministry said the announcement was made due to information received that admission cards of school candidates were being withheld by principals till the candidates settle their facility, service or other fees.   

Therefore, the Ministry yesterday advised all principals to issue the admission cards to all the candidates immediately.
