How to study new A/L Biology syllabus correctly?
NIE conducted Seminars for GCE A/L teachers recently in 2017 August, informing them on the contents of new Biology Syllabus. In these syllabus teachers and students were informed that they should not use the old syllabus Teacher Guides, and they should follow Campbell Biology book in teaching and learning Biology.
At present A/L Biology syllabus contains 13 Units. New syllabus with 10 new units are being complied these days by NIE (National Institute of Education). New Teachers' Guides are also being prepared by NIE. These syllabus are compiled by a team of University Professors, School Biology Teachers and officers of NIE.
Today major science advances are in atoms (in Physics and chemistry), bytes (in Information science) and in genes. While Physics and Chemistry are based on molecules and atoms, Biological processors are based on Genes. Cell function, evolution, human diseases, race, identity and even your behavior are determined by genes. Basis of the present syllabus is to put more emphasis on these new trends in Biology.
Hence when selecting A/L 2020 tuition classes, you should be careful in selecting a correct class. You should select a tuition class conducted by a teacher who has a good knowledge on these recent developments in Biology.

Sir I am doing 2020 A/L in biology stream (third shy). I am from Galle district. I have an urgent question. What is most advantageous to me….applying exam via new syllabus or old syllabus?
If you can study new syllabus (which is very different to old syllabus) then do it.
Else if you are familiar with old syllabus do it.
