Technology stream

 

The stream is commonly known as technology stream. Technology stream was introduced in 2013. the stream contains three subject categories. A, B and C. candidates can select EnTechnology as category B subject, and Information communication technology, or any other subject from the category C subject group. Science for Technology (Category B) is a compulsory subject for both Engineering and Bio-system candidates. Since the stream is relatively new, number of schools that have the facilities to teach the stream is limited or null in some areas for those who want to study those subjects. There are many Government and Semi-Government higher education opportunities available in Sri Lanka for technology stream students.

 

State University Opportunities After ALs.

 

There are 15 courses specifically provided for the technology stream students by the government universities of Sri Lanka. Furthermore, there are some common courses also which can be followed by the technology students.
