All these girls have got the right marks at ALs but few will get the chance to go to universities.

Nine students have been selected to universities from Mahavilachchiya from the Advanced Level exam that was held last year. Six of these students have been ranked below 50 from the whole Anuradhapura district. All of these who were ranked below 50 have got A passes for all three subjects at the exam. Sidhdhartha (6), Thakshila (2) and Saliyamala (1) public schools have produced those students. Some of these students also studied computers and English at Horizon Lanka. Though scores of other students also have qualified for the university literally, they will not stand a chance to enter universities due to the tight competition at the universities in Sri Lanka.
