Yes it is a good move. You also should do the following;1. Make sure that these private/public are quality controlled by a common body to ensure quality.2. Abolish free education and introduce a loan system so that students have to repay once they start earning. We never appreciate what we get for free.3. Change the syllabus of current courses to suit the present requirements.

Has seen not seen the Number of Private Universities Bill Boards Advertisement Selling MBA ect before even enrolling. This is from the Past So many Years

It is essential to provide students with the facilities to do higher education but these should be geared to the requirements of the country to ensure that when they pass out, there will be jobs. Churning out Arts graduates will only create more unemployment. Today even passed out doctors are not being absorbed into the service as government does not have money to increase the cadre. SL is short of at least 20,000 doctors but the governments, past and present have been hiding the facts.

In fact, many private universities provide better quality education than many state run universities. Look at other countries.

Make sense. In most developed counties this is the case. Education is wealth and it is reasonable paying for it.

In all countries that I know of higher education is NOT free. Even the government universities charge a fee. Only the basic school education upto grade 8 or 10 is given on account of tax payers.

Good move indeed ... education should not be denied to anyone ... with paid or free if we are to develop this country... the country needs educated persons ....

Absolutely correct and that is the reason for the agitation by the students and doctors.

education is never free...so rich people should be given a chance of having an education in sri lanka without burdening the tax payers

it is about time!

Yes or no. In Japan the state universities are the best and also also a passport for a nice job.It is now free but reasonable.
OMG Monday, 21 December 2015 02:36 PM
we need private universities, otherwise we never have sound education background. India is a good example for it.

Very good move. If they want to protest they should also protest against holding tuition classes, which are private

Long overdue decision.This should have happened at least 20 years ago.
