The fact Muslim boy has been placed second in the G.C.C.(O) level result in the whole island goes to prove, that if the Muslims are given equal opportunities they can excel. I urge all Muslim students who have the potential and has the chance to go to Sinhala Vidyalaya they should attend. Same thing goes to those who have chance to go to Tamil School they should attend. The facilities and the teaching in Muslim schools are below standard.
