Disappointed by the unkept promises of the government, a large number of academics are now contemplating on leaving the local higher education system, the Federation of University Teachers Association (FUTA) said.FUTA Spokesman Dr. Mahim Mendis speaking to Daily Mirror said that as a result of the government’s failure to grant a substantial pay hike for the academics, a large number of academics have now decided to leave the higher education system and go for more lucrative opportunities.
A discussion was held between the President and FUTA members on May 25 but ended in a stalemate. Meanwhile, another discussion is scheduled between the President and FUTA members tomorrow evening to discuss on the issues academics are currently facing. (Lakna Paranamanna)

Good riddance. Who needs them? Let the military provide all university education in addition to the leadership education they are providing now.

i have full sympathy for the academic staff. once again, the govt's broken promises result in the poor and needy (in this case, the students) suffering

This is the expected outcome from all these. Leadership training - affordable ppl for private universities will not send their kids to training leaving gvt Uni. When dons do not get a good salary capble ones will join private universities or leave the SL. Only incapable incompetent henchmen will remain within SL universities. So all gov uni will have a natural death paving the way for the eradication of free education from SL. Not a bad move by UNP deserter SB. God have to save MR from these idiots.
