I believe that preschools are not overlooked properly. Therefore, there has to be a newly structured programme for that. Changes also have to be made for subject materials in school curriculum. When it comes to university education, some course programmes are outdated. There has to be a change in the overall education sector, taking every level of education into consideration.
Technical education should start at an early age. We don’t have to wait till university level education to pursue courses and programmes. The more time children invest in technical studies, the more time they have to excel at it. Further, I believe improving English language should go hand in hand with technical studies. There should be more ways to educate our children in Information Technology and English language.
The youth are left with no option when salaries are low compared to other countries. If the country can amend the wages structure, keeping the youth in the country won’t be that difficult. I also believe those who use enjoy free education have a moral duty towards the country. It is unfair for them to leave the country for better jobs after using free education in universities and even job training. There has to be some sort of bond between the students and the state.
Encouragement from the part of the government for small scale and large scale entrepreneurs is at a sorry state. During our Yahapalana government, we had launched several relief programmes for entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, this government halted them. The successive government should continue whatever the good plans the previous government initiated.
A tricky question! Not only for MCC, for any agreements between two countries, sovereignty of the two countries should be safeguarded at any cost. If one country benefits more than the other country, I don’t think it is prudent to go ahead with such agreements.
The previous government introduced light railway system with funds from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). However, the current government wanted a public private partnership (PPP) with another country, and they halted the project with JICA. The existing buses should be replaced with new more comfortable buses. A low-interest loan scheme could support bus companies and owners to adapt to new changes in the transport system.
A lot more has to be done for the conservation of the environment. I suggest that a small amount should be allocated for the conservation of the environment in every single project, the government or private entities launch.
I am fairly liberal in that matter. I believe that nobody should be discriminated because of his or her sexual orientation. Freedom to live as who you are is paramount.
Education, Health and the Youth.

When whole dirty politics in Sri Lanka end up educated crowd stays back. No one wishes to be a second class citizens in any country.

If ministers and MPs carry out their jobs professionally and the religious leaders only focus on religious matters then the educated youth will not leave the country. The current situation is where you need influence to make even simple things happen.

Educated youth are leaving the country so visionaries like you and your family can ruin this country.. if you remained at John Keels you would have at least had earned the respect of your colleagues now you have fallen into the same stinking pit like your party colleagues..

Talk sense, they are leaving since there is absolutely no future

You also need to seriously consider the following two point. 1. Bring the highly qualified highly experienced Sri Lankans who are living in other countries, back to Sri Lanka seeking their experiences and exposure to develop Sri Lanka. 2. Remove the Sri Lankans who are not performing in their duties in order to create paths for the truly educated and experienced expatriates to take control of the development of Sri Lanka. In order for the professional expatriates to return, Sri Lankans, a country as a whole, must accept the fact that there will be accelerated and unpresidented forwardly integrated changes.

But yet you didn't answer your stance re. MCC I agree the fact it's more of a stupid question rather than tricky cause it's almost signed. The balance are mere formalities to complete. Both you and the reporter should do their homework genuinely rather than pretending

Bring Back English as the Medium of Government. Then only the Educated will be able to join the Government!
