Universities to start from September

23 Aug 2022

  • Students to be allowed to use hostel facilities
BY Buwanajee Coralage   Universities islandwide are to start physical, in-person academic education activities from September, said University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman Prof. Sampath Amaratunge. Speaking to The Morning yesterday (23), he stated that the procedure of reopening universities is not as simple as opening schools due to the complexity of the schedules of university students and some of the exams already being underway online. The students on study leave and those already facing their examinations will be called into universities after the end of the relevant time periods; however, from September onwards, the universities will resume physical lectures and the students will be able to use university hostel facilities and other amenities as before. “Universities cannot be opened as easily as reopening schools. There are pre-planned schedules that are in place to conduct several examinations online and some students are currently on study leave. Considering all these factors, we’ve decided to reopen universities in September for in-person academic purposes with the above-mentioned students being informed to resume physical lectures at universities after their relevant examinations, which will happen online as planned previously,” said Amaratunge. Furthermore, he stated that the said decision was taken owing to the sense of normalcy that is prevalent in the country at present. Following this decision, all 15 State universities islandwide will resume activities physically. State universities remained temporarily closed while academic activities were conducted online due to the fuel crisis that severely affected the transportation of students and faculty members in the past few months and also the lack of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for providing the residential students with their meals. With the resolution of these issues to a certain extent, the decision was reached to reopen universities next month.
