BBS in favour of private campus

03 Dec 2013 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

The Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) Organisation today said that it was in favour of establishing private universities in Sri Lanka and said the move would stop Sri Lankan monies going out of the country.

“We cannot let people or organisations like Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) to act on their agendas and oppose for moves that benefits the country. Students wouldn’t have to spend millions of rupees for universities abroad when there are standard private universities in Sri Lanka,” BBS General Secretary Galagoda Atte Gnanasara Thera told a news conference.

He said this move would not only help save money but also save the Sri Lankan society from falling apart. “Some students who travel overseas never come back. Their families as well as the country lose them,” he said.

He also said state universities should be protected from being privatized.

The Thera said that they would initiate public forums throughout the country to garner people’s opinion on education system and would handover a proposal to the Education Ministry in order to reform the present education system.

“The present education system in the country is not up to date and practical. The system is in ruins,” he said. (Jayashika Padmasiri & Lahiru Pothmulla)
