In line with President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s “Vision of Prosperity” emphasised in the Government’s policy manifesto, Minister of Education Prof. G.L. Peiris stated that the university system in Sri Lanka should be reformed to create a future generation that will immediately acquire the latest technological know-how and use that to reach the highest level of development.
The Minister made these comments at a meeting held at the University of Peradeniya on Sunday (20) which was attended by University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman Prof. Sampath Amaratunga, University of Peradeniya Vice Chancellor Prof. Upul Dissanayake, faculty deans, and other officials.
Discussions were also held on the development of physical and infrastructure facilities for the year 2020 to admit 405 more students to the engineering faculties of six universities and 360 additional students to the medical faculties.
During the meeting, the officials also focused on planning a programme to use the excellent works produced by universities for the benefit of schoolchildren. It was also proposed to take steps to appoint advisors for career guidance in the universities and to adjust the number of posts approved for the same.
The officials also agreed to hold discussions with the Treasury and make arrangements to provide special funds for the upliftment of the existing dental and veterinary hospitals at the University of Peradeniya.
The issues and challenges faced by the deans in academic and administrative matters were also discussed and the Minister pointed out the long-term and short-term solutions that could be provided in this regard.
The Minister also instructed the officials to look into the future implementation of external degree courses and how to plan future measures to safeguard their quality.
The discussion was held as an extension of a series of meetings held with the deans, vice chancellors, UGC officials, and Ministry of Education officials to discuss the possible steps that could be taken to safeguard the quality of university education in the country.
