👋 Welcome, Educators of Western Province
Provincial Department of Education · Western Province
RDS Marks Platform
The province's own system for entering, checking, and reporting Grade 6–11 student results — from the classroom up to the Provincial Director's desk, covering every zone, division, and school in Western Province.
Our Reach
One system, the whole province
Every development division and school in Western Province reports through RDS, term after term.
System Overview
Built around how results actually flow
From a teacher's mark sheet to a Provincial Director's zone comparison, without a spreadsheet in between.
Marks Entry
Teachers and Principals enter subject marks by class, term by term, with built-in validation against implausible or missing results.
School, Zone & Province Reports
Grade distributions, subject performance, and top-student reports roll up automatically from school to development division to province.
Categories & Daily Attendance
O/L result categories, Grade 6–9 progress tracking, and daily attendance -- all in one place alongside marks.
Early Warning
Weak-schools and at-risk-student views surface exactly where attention is needed, before a term ends.
Free education for every child, in every village.
The principle Dr. C.W.W. Kannangara established for Sri Lanka — carried forward today in every result this platform records.
Western Province is organised into 11 education zones, further split into 47 development divisions that bring school administration closer to every community RDS serves — each one reporting its own results through this same platform.
Who Uses RDS
One hierarchy, from province to classroom
Every tier sees exactly its own scope -- a school sees its own results, a zone sees every school in it, the province sees everything.
