ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ASIAN INSTITUTE FOR SCIENCE OF TECHNOLOGY  A number of students annually access overseas education as the admission to state universities could only be gained by 22% of students that have sat for the G.C.E. AL examination. Many of them do not return to this country. Therefore it is intended to establish a higher educational institute called Asia Institute for Science of Technology (AIST) with the public – private partnership that can earn foreign exchange through providing education opportunities to local as well as foreign students. This project will be funded by Japan one of our prominent development partners. It is expected to establish a technological village near the AIST at 2025 Japanese industrial partners will be invited to establish their production, research and development centres therein. A special course that directs students towards the job market in the industrial field, including the subjects of NANO technology, electric and electronic science, Information and Communication Technology, Telecommunication, Robot Science, will be awarded.
