Excellent move and this is one of the few fruitful "things" that this government is going to introduce. This is already a long over due matter. All the best.

Private universities are not a problem, if (1) enrolled student with minimum A/L (at least 1C and 2S) with appropriate subject steam (2) Private University exams should be conducted by national examination boad and all the cost will be covered from private universities (including paper setting) (3) Private universities should have minimum physical resources and human resources (4) 50% of lecturers should be full time and they should have master degree. (5) All degree are 4 years (6) every degree program should have research component in their 3rd year and student must publish one research paper in national or international journal for their graduation

A long over due in Sri Lanka. Well done.
MalcomX Saturday, 16 February 2013 08:47 AM
Probably Anton has got 4 Fs for his A/Ls.
Thomas Saturday, 16 February 2013 04:18 PM

Very Sensible Move. Better than Building Airports Ans Ports

In the past some BOI companies just ran away from the country after some time.

The private universities could admit only the children from upper class family for the price of Rs.400,000 for management studies and 1 million for Eng. Poor children from the rural Sinhalese to limit their education up A/L. Is that the SB s plan.
Mohamed Monday, 18 February 2013 06:06 PM
Timely move. But as mentioned the universities must be academically strengthened with international standards. Today the recognition for the state univertisty graduates are very poor due to the prevailing situation. So if these private universities also state run with the same attitude means purpose lost. This is not a privatisation issue. let the investors make their money. But give an opportunity for students to further study. That's the need of the hour.

Bring Australia too as they are the best in the industry.
Stop free education in the government Universities as our people don't value when things are given free!!!.
saranga Saturday, 16 February 2013 04:46 AM
Overdue but finally very sensible approach to resolve the country's long standing unqualified and unemployable graduate issue
ling Saturday, 16 February 2013 04:50 AM
Frog in the well, tell me which country do not have a foreign university?
SQF Saturday, 16 February 2013 04:58 AM
A very good move to stop draining money to foreign universities in countries like India, UK, Australia and NZ etc.!
Boots Saturday, 16 February 2013 05:09 AM
You will realize the gravity of this decision after loosing all the state universities within 5 years.

This sure is wonderful news! :)

Keep the Indians out until they adopt a friendlier approach towards Lanka at International forumns. Too much Indian activity in Lanka now for too little gain for Lanka.
ANTON Saturday, 16 February 2013 05:58 AM
Brilliant idea. More intelligent and polite people will be born in Srilanka before long.
mdan Saturday, 16 February 2013 04:17 AM
lets start another ministry for this too.. -MR
Janaki Kalansuriya Saturday, 16 February 2013 06:25 AM
Will the government please publish a document on what the clients get entitled to with these BOI projects? As we can see, it is just a one way street for the companies involved to make maximum financial benefits with a mere eyewash given to their clients. Take the many Housing Projects. They are all fitted with low quality local fittings. The public have no one to ask or be guided by. So, whatever will happen to the poor students and the parents who will be poorer.
Janaki Kalansuriya Saturday, 16 February 2013 06:29 AM
SQF, this country will have to create the ambiance offered by foreign Unis before we can think of stemming the outflow of our students going abroad for studies. With ministers having fingering powers on this, like with sport, this too will go downhill in no time!!
ANTON Saturday, 16 February 2013 06:30 AM
Those who obtain degrees from government universities are like parrots. They only know what they have been taught.

This should have been done a long time ago. If i remember right, the sahodarayas rejected the move.
Look at Malaysia/UAE today. They grabbed the opportunity.
