UNP Colombo District Parliamentarian Sujeewa Senasinghe speaking to Daily Mirror online today said that the Minister of Higher Education should resign forthwith due to the fiasco surrounding the Advanced Level results. “In a country that is governed by sound principles the Minister in charge would resign immediately, the Advanced Level exam is a turning point in any child's life and it is the future of these children that the authorities are playing with,” he said.The Parliamentarian went on to point out that the release of error filled results was not the only instance that authorities had faulted in recent times. “ There have been countless instances where the department has played havoc, the setting of wrong questions in question papers, the non implementation of policy, the policies being out of date are all direct responsibilities of the government,” he said. Senasinghe went on to point out that the country has been pulled back due to the inefficiency and short sightedness in the education system. “The system as a whole is crumbling, with the country having access to advanced technology its laughable that the government continues to put the lives and future of the student at risk with no concern whatsoever.”
Senasinghe went on to point out that the youth would get frustrated and lose confidence in the system. “We witnessed many uprisings by frustrated youth, this is exactly what this country is heading towards due to inefficiency and total disregard of the value for the future of the students would lead to,” he said.

Failures are the pillars of success. Take me as an example

Everything in this country has been destroyed now.
Law and order, equality before justice, state owned enterprises, stock market, health service, rail road air and sea transport, central bank monetary policy, sports, people's franchise, media and communication, the legislature, public administration, foreign service and now..... examinations.
WHAT MOER IS LEFT. Its late, but not too late. Legislators, please do your duty in the best interest of the people and the country.uvais Monday, 26 December 2011 09:57 AM

I would like to ask from those who voted for this government repeatedly what is your opinion on this matter? Failure is the only result in recent past of this government.

This is the ultimate result once you appoint a person like SB as the Minster of HE. Obata Suba Anagathayak!

Well said. Parents are worried and the students are frustrated with no alternatives.
ADAHAN Monday, 26 December 2011 07:52 AM
According to the MP's contention not only Education Minister even many other ministers have to be given the marching orders especially inefficient ministries like Petroleum, Disaster Management, Power and Energy, health and Co-operatives.
balu Monday, 26 December 2011 07:47 AM
well said sir! minister of education is lacking in education.
Sam Monday, 26 December 2011 07:22 AM
Agree with Sujeewa.
This is due to ignorance of Minister and the others. If they are not willing to resing, they should be fired. This is a huge mistake. They must be punished.ricky Monday, 26 December 2011 07:21 AM
