		<title>The etuktuk delivers results!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday the Examination Department released the Grade V scholarship examination results and they made it available on the Internet. As in the previous years many parents came to the CMC to get the results of their child sooner because it takes about two to three days for the result sheets to be delivered to schools via post. CMC charged Rs. 20 for a result with a Printout.

As this was happening I remembered an incident which happened last year. When I visited in the etuktuk to the rural village “lagumdeniya” to capture the moments of a village Sunday school prize giving festival I met a chatty little boy. He had done the grade five exam and was waiting for the results to come to the school. But the results have already been put on the Internet about one week back. I asked him whether he knew it or not. He said he knew but does not have access to the facilities so he had to wait until the results come to the school. All the students living in the urban areas get their results on the same day it is released but the story is different for the rural areas.]]></description>
