[QUOTE="neo76, post: 16228934, member: 162679"] Machangz, Recently I came across this information. I heard some people (they are educated, respected people) describing their observation. They were saying that some of the graduates who passed out from foreign, paid universities, performed better than the local graduates. This is a highly subjective observation. So, I'm not sure about the validity of this observation. But, by any chance, if this is true, then, time has come to think twice about the quality of our tertiary education. Above all, the said foreign graduates who performed well, obviously have obtained much less than local graduates at A/L. If this observation is valid/ true, we have to think of ways in improving the quality of our university education. I have hardly seen local universities performing course content analysis or analysis/ feed back of any lecturer, and comparison them with internationally/ widely accepted standards. At the same time, it's a widely accepted fact that Sri Lanka is producing some graduate programmes, at an inappropriate quantity, that government finds difficult to make them employed when they get graduated. (e.g. Arts degrees) I'm not saying that they are not needed. They can teach, history etc to the new generation. But, the quantity they are produced may be too much, so that they have to do picketing at Lipton circus/ in front of Pettah station to get a job. But, for some degrees, they don't have to wait until government gives them a job. They have a much high demand in the private sector. Back to the topic again. Re : foreign universities. They can't survive in the market, if the graduates they produce can't meet the global standards requirements. So, I too believe that these private sector university teaching and course content must be very effective and appropriate. [/QUOTE]
