I hope all of you'll have passed your a/ls or at least got a chance to sit for the a/ls. He's trying to do something good appreciate it otherwise just shut up and wait. Yeah I studied in Colombo but I've seen the hell those students in villages go through, because I've had the opportunity to see that first hand. Since the President is trying to do something good better to be optimistic than shout like idiots who don't understand the plight of the less fortunate who have lesser chances at a good education.

Highest qualification or the post being held is not worth, as long as the individual or group undermines the "core values" of a society. Whatever the level of education, the need of the hour is inculcate proper values and attitudes from top to the bottom.

The dropouts will have to be given Honorary Advance Level Certificates. Like certain persons who got Doctorates and Law Degrees.
