University Professors Threaten A/L Marking Boycott Amid Admissions Dispute

TLDR
  • University professors may boycott A/L marking due to admissions dispute.

  • Marking for current A/L exam has begun.

  • Applications open for 2026 A/L examiners.

The marking of answer scripts for the current GCE Advanced Level examination has commenced, with results anticipated by the end of the year. However, the process faces potential disruption as the Federation of University Teachers' Associations (FUTA) is considering a boycott of marking duties. This potential action stems from unresolved issues regarding a new circular that university professors claim unfairly impacts their children's university admissions. In parallel, the Department of Examinations has announced the call for applications for examiners for the 2026 A/L examination, with online applications open until June 22 for paper marking and until July 28 for practical test panels.
