Had all AL and OL students Tablets how easy things would have been. Hats off to Yahapalanaya for thinking about such an idea.

These broad and vague statements mean what exactly? "Free Internet Facilities" means - a building that they can use free of charge? Ahem.. social distancing? Everyone is supposed to be quarantined at home which means for e-learning, they need to get their internet for free. Sure SLT can "waive" the bill, but what about students who use Dialog etc? All our network providers should have offered what other countries and given people extra GB free on their monthly allowance. SLT's most expensive Fiber package is $300 a month, In Shanghai my friend pays $300 for the year for a 200Mb line UNLIMITED data.

Dear Telco, Why cant you lift the bar night time and day time data, Please give us the total data without time bar, so then you also will not loose your income and we also can work from home. ( eg you gave 30 GB day time 90 Gb night time ) make it 120 Gb anytime

Exactly, Please lift the time bar for data permanently. it's a business trick. Most of us don't use 90% of the night data. We need our data for our money. Our Government need to seriously consider it.

Its time the Higher Education Ministry plan an e Learning program method where lectures go on schedule on time and complete the course on time what ever it may be. Be it strike, curfew what ever and see that the students will have to pass out their courses and the next batch come in. This will keep them occupied and be on track than for them to take an additional few years due to lame excuses as of now. After all its all cost borne by the public for their so called Free Education.
