Let me tell you something.
Sri Lanka job market is about servicing. For instance we don't do research we use products that were built with research and provide services. Simplest example: MORA ENTC teaches telcom theory. But we never use that knowledge to build anything, but we use tools built using that theory to do jobs. The only place we can use that knowledge is to go abroad and join some lab which most don't do. Basically Engineers do jobs technicians can do

.
So basically our educational system doesn't output people that will contribute to OUR economy.
If the country needs to develop we need more research happening and more scientists coming in to the field and fields like that are physical science, bio science (?) etc. But what is the demand for that in our country? In SL the highest demand is for engineers and doctors

.
So that is why I say that the entire education system is fucked up. All we have are good brains just like india, China and that IS WHY immigrants run other countries and NOT because our education system is good.
