Your observations are valid... Ii have always commented here that the SL education system was ruined by that idiot Baduddin Mohammed, who was the Education Minister during Sirimavo time. Remember the days of Parippu and Rice from the Moon....
No subsequent government or the stupid "Curriculum Development Board" fixed it.... (Probably it should have been aptly named as "Lack of Curriculum Development Board")
The quality of teaching has fallen, the kids have only superficial knowledge on many subjects without a proper foundation in place. I often wonder why do we run schools. Every weekend when I see the number of children on the road when tuition classes finish, it's more or less like a wesak procession...
Why don't we close down the damned schools and rent them to tuition masters? Many parents spend huge amounts of money on tuition. Are the kids any smarter? NO.
We need a whole revamp on education. It's very easy to eliminate the "Parrot" like learning and weed out the clever ones. Sadly the clever educators in the country already left for overseas.......
PS: BTW I fully endorse free education and healthcare. We really need it in place.
you seem to be highly informative. frankly i have never heard the name of this minister who has ruined the education system in the country until i read your input.
never feel bored of reading your comments bro..
