See MoreOk :A systematic approach is very good but to do that we need a hugely qualified teachers in many subjects.. our teacher training system is ousted and old fashioned teaching … as an academic madam may know the quality of our teaching in our schools and universities and we do well in two subjects ( science and maths ) .. No doubt our A/ L examinations are tough and high standards in many subjects and thanks to inherited system of British education and yet overall our education in arts and humanities subjects at very poor … we are still good in memorising subject matters.. our arts graduates are not creative or not productive not rationally and logically trained to create new knowledge or creativity.
I can suggest some ideas on this matter but this is not a place to do it …

Pantha Kumaran :Namal, remember people from South to North appointed 161 MPs. You got scared and you entered parliament thorough back door. Rajapakses are finished. Do not bring racial views. Your dad did lot of damages and we are in this situation because of your family. Please allow Anura to do a good job. If Anura is taking wrong decision please tell. Our country is liberated from crooks. Thanks to voters.
