Are we achieving the objective of district quota allocation for university entrance

[neo76]

A reduced cutoff mark has been allocated for some districts for university entrance. It was perceived that the reason behind this is, these districts should produce at least few of the professionals of the given study stream.
However, if majority of them get settled soon after graduation, the objective of this program is lost. (and creating an injustice to more competitive districts)

Some proposed to implement to sign a bond on university entrance, who got selected with relatively low marks, guaranteeing that he or she will serve their original district for a reasonable period after graduation.

Extreme cases may be considered case by case and could be released from the bond.

What's your opinion.

However, if majority of them get settled in Colombo soon after graduation, the objective of this program is lost.

apart from doctors, most of other degree holders specially STEM degree holders don't have enough industries, working places , it tech companies in rural areas. so they all end up in cmb.
maybe someone with such degree could work as a science or math teacher other than that i can't think of many places which requires a degree in rural districts.

Then certainly, we are not achieving the objective of district quota allocation for university entrance.
Do you think, we are providing a justice for students in districts like Colombo, Kandy, Galle and Kurunegala.
Most students do work hard. Still they end up in frustration.
I have firsthand experience in a rural districts. Many neighborhood students did enter university of moratuwa without much hard work.
However, majority of the students in more competitive districts end up in frustration and psychological imbalances.

I guess, we need to address in a more methodical way of addressing this issue.

Most of these problems arise as a very very little percentage of students get the opportunity for tertiary education.
Many countries without free education are having a higher percentage of graduates than that of Sri Lanka.
Therefore, it is obvious that the so called FREE education in Sri Lanka has an issue
