I failed my A/Ls in 1998, No higher education in SL offered me a place for higher studies including the private institutes. I am lucky my parents send me to UK at age of 20 for higher studies, now i hold an MBA working for a multinational company. if i was in SL i would
probably drive a 3-wheeler now, SL education system is good for book worms!!!

Rajarajacholan as a Tamil myself I am ashamed of your comments and people like you bring disrepute to all other Tamils in this country. I studied at the University of Colombo and most of my close friends to date are Sinhalese. And never for a minute did I feel that there was discrimination towards myself or anyone of any other nationality.

We should all stand together as one nation! we are Sri Lankans...not Tamil! or Sinhalese!.

As for you, please read more, understand how the world works. Just FYI it’s much bigger than that little fish bowl you seem to be living in!

Ooops! nobel laureate = high standard of education. What a great discovery!

It is a fact that the English Language is not sufficiently spread throughout Sri Lanka, but that does not mean our children lack intelligence (I hope you are not counted) or our education standard is low. If we were not hammered by the 30-year terrorism, we - whether Sinhala, Tamil, Muslim, Burger or Malay -could have done even better. A good proportion of the national wealth and time was wasted on combating the terrorism.

If not for the terrorism, this boy himself would have studied in Sri Lanka. My sympaties to his family.

What sound quality education system? Can any body get into University even if S/He capable in Sri Lanka?

A student done agriculture in A/L, can he use the knowledge in his farm? Can a Science student get a job in a Laboratory?

In Sri Lanka School education is just for prepare University entrance. Even graduates are not fit to Job market except some professional Degree holders.

Twinkle twinkle little star.. how I wonder what you are... But it seems you have no knowledge about the very high standard of Public Education System in Sri Lanka which has produced world famous intellects, Doctors, Surgeons, Lawyers, Engineers, IT Experts etc. etc. Most people send their children abroad only as a fashion and for boasting... There are enough and more facilities in SL (State & Private) for anyone to be educated up to the level of PhD.

For your information the level of the education system in SL is high, I doubt that you have at least managed to pass through the local A/L and have got in to the university in SL. Anyhow where ever the SL students go, they achieve with high merit due to the best education taught here not any where else. The universities in UK or Us or any part ofthe world offering space for international students to study because of the high IQ level the internationals inherited with their system of education, mainly asians have with their educational level. So stop degrading the SL system of education which given for free for the students in SL!

What ever Government that was in power, we got a sound education in Sl thanks to the system, teachers and parents. We enhanced our knowledge with global resources as well.We are in better positions today and no regrets. Its how one look at it and positive attitude that matters rather than blaming systems etc.

Good parents know that good education come from competition. Successive governments have given the entire preference to non-talented singalese for university admissions, in due of competitive talented Tamils. Now there are few Tamils in Universities, and all those bunch of Singalese who got the university admission under various categories ruins everyone’s life. Now parents are sending their children to where all these talented Tamils are studying. No worries when we get the separate country you could send your kids to us as a friendly nation for higher education.
