Lecturers of the Nawala Open University staged a protest before the university premises as part of the token strike launched by the Federation of University Teachers Association (FUTA). The token strike was launched in all the universities countrywide urging the government to realize their promise of providing a substantial pay hike for the academics in Sri Lanka.

Of them all, Open University takes the lead, what an irony!!!!!All what this lot do is, roll a note and post it. Why would they need a pay hike?

There is no alternative to this Govt. Hence the Govt can afford to ignore the Election Pledges.

What is the irony? All any Lanka govt educational instute knows is to roll a note bcoz lankans as students need to be spoon-fed and have no independent thought. They need the note bcoz can't think for themselves. See the country now-all just followed like a herd of bulls and voted the King. Now striking and asking and begging. King is earning nicely and can stay forever-why he should worry about other's pay?
