Grade 12 Admissions Open for Advanced Level Vocational Stream 2026/2027

March 06, 2026

The Ministry of Education has officially announced the opening of admissions for Grade 12 students to the Advanced Level Vocational Stream for the 2026/2027 academic year. The announcement was released on March 6, 2026, offering new opportunities for students across the country.

Students who sat for the G.C.E. Ordinary Level (O/L) examination in 2025 (2026) or within the past three years are eligible to apply. Notably, this stream provides a unique opportunity as O/L results are not mandatory for admission, allowing even those who did not pass their O/Ls to enroll.

Applicants are required to download the official application form from the Ministry of Education website and submit the completed form directly to the Principal of their preferred school.

The Advanced Level Vocational Stream is currently available in 608 schools island-wide, expanding access to skill-based education and career-focused learning pathways for students.
