Just dont think twice. It is hard to convince the government and the people of Sri Lanka. Uni lecturers if you can just leave this country and there you will be happy. I dont think this country need educated people. They need rural folks who says yes to anything.

We thank Minister Basil for his effort to settle this BIG ISSUE. Else it would have been a chaos and shame for the country.

Be the Minister of Education and Higher education and show you can do the job because both ministers responsible have failed.

You have to drag because of SB and few fellows on your side, who do not want to discuss FUTA proposal constructively. They also want to win politically by crushing trade unions.

At any cost? Irrespective of the Expenditure? Then HOW can the Strike continue? I know for sure UniMora Lecturers will not settle for mere salary increase..

Sensationalism seems to be the buzz word of the day. As Gadzooks mentioned, sets everything seething.

These snippet-like reports do not say much but they tend to stir the pot vigorously.
