Need to start off by de-politicizing first. This is the only wrong thing I see with SAITM.
Face it. Nothing is non political. The state owns the capital and it controls the people. behind every sugar coated system there is a political arm which controls it. unless you have the capital or power the only way to over come this is by knowledge and performance, that is where competition matters. the world is knowledge centric, the performer will win and the other will lose.
In another few years the SAITM grads will be armed with some good overseas post grad qualifications and will become top class consultants, and will work for worlds top medical research institutes or hospitals.
While,
most of the GOVT Uni doctors will settle with their MBBS for the life time, will not do any post grad studies, will not get updated with the latest developments in medicine. They will open a small PP place in a town, will treat ppl for minor sicknesses with the same prescription for abt 500/=, Will get the God's level respect from 'Anthare' class Sinhalese, and will live and die like that.
While,
'Anthare' assholes will block the streets till they go old asking the govt to give them jobs, maybe a SAITM doctor will do their postmortem the day they die as poor, worthless men who has not done any good to the world.
Minissuth doctor kenek waraddak kaloth gihin naduwak dai wandi illala. Ethakota GMOA ekata waradi karapu kena hangannath stike karannath baha.
