What You guys think about our Education system ?

What you guys think about our education system??? is it ok or need to change ??

as my view...

there are significiant number of students drop out after O/L. After that they dont have a place to go. They may failed exam ( O/L ) cuz they dont have enough talent to these traditional exams. But they may good at some other fields.Like mechanical or whatever. But there are very few places in SL for those people. (Jerman Tec.. ). Sri lanka should make some more training schools for un common fields like that.

even after u Pass the O/L u have to face a dilemma in choosing the A/L stream due to unforeseeable future that looms after the A/L examination and many mismatches in the system.
and the English. A/L stream should be 75% english.cuz after ur AL whatebver u gonna do u have to do English mediam. most of student face problems when this change.

Good topic Janith

Well education system in SL was subjected many debates in the past decade or two. he education system of Sl was recognized to be one of the best prevailed in the whole world. The degrees which were passed out from the universities (I am referring to the degrees such as BSc. Eng., B.Arch. etc.) were highly recommended by the authorities all around the world, unlike the most of the degrees bestowed by Indian universities. The education system prevailing in the university system has not been a problem to my consideration up to now.
As Janith mentioned it is the educational system prevailing in the Primary & Secondary level. Although people in the high seats of Educational authorities boast about we having a literacy of over 90%, the educational level of SL is decreasing day by day as the stas revealed in the percentage of students fails in Mathematics & English. It is a shame that to keep the curve to the standard, the passed level of Mathematics is always decreased. Rather than trying to uplift the condition of the students, to boast to the world, the easiest method been adopted is bringing down the pass level.
The syllabus of the Secondary level is been changed so rapidly in the past few years. Focusing more on the A/L stream; Math (sorry I did Math & will be easier for me to speak about it) the standard of an modern A/L student & A/L student back in 1960s, 70s' are completely different. But ht e sympathetic situation is that the difference has occured in the wrong way. Especially with combining Pure Math & Applied Math to one subject has resulted in dropping off good quality theories in the both stream. Differencial Calculation is one area which is been dropped & an area which an engineering student is essential to be in knowledgeable with. Like wise there are many more to be talked about.
But as there are cons, there are few pros too in the new syllabus. Physics certainly has picked up its standard as the subject is renewed with all the modern Physics theories. Chemistry seems to have kept in the same level.
Focusing on O/L stream, the biggest complaint by the A/L teachers is that proper linkage or relationship is not been created by the prevailing O/L system. The Math subject is not merely enough for a student who is willing to do in Math stream in A/Ls. Therefore A/L teachers have to do a bridging lectures before they start A/L work.
Another issue that Janith has mentioned is English. Well that always been a problem since he British dominance ended. As for a solution, the qualification levels for an English teacher must be changed. A person with a credit pass can apply for the English teaching post & majority of the English teachers are of that caliper. Getting Distinction in English has become a reality & a much easier job than it was in the past. Anyone who can by heart few essays & letters are capable of doing that. Therefore O/L Credit pass should not be the qualification level for a English teacher. Other thing which Janith has mentioned about converting A/L subjects to English medium is not an easy task, although after A/L most of the higher studies are done in English medium. This particular thing have to be handled very sensitively
Other thing about more technical colleges in SL, well....it has certain issues as with lot of political forces, Student forces colliding with each other. That paricular topic has to be given a seperate comment. (I'll comment on that later
Well this is the prevailing situation of SL educational system according to my knowledge.
More to talk about the issue & more comments to be expected to come

 

[ravicplk]

as Rash said from the olevels to alevels there isnt any link. that seems to be a big problem.but now they have changed the olevel syllabus and for the olevels now students are doing some good stuff. in the new olevel syllabus the science section is divided in to some parts like chemistry and biology. and i think it is a good move.
and from the content basis, they have added some new things to olevels.
as mentioned before in this thread after ALevel a significant number of students leave the school not knowing what to do. but with the basic English knowledge and with 3S s in alevel, they can do whole lot of things..so in order to do that English and 3S s in alevel is a must.

Yes Our education System needs to change!

Problems In our education system

• Its not Updated
• Most of the stuff are irrelevent
• More Theory than Practical stuff
• It doesn't Match with the Job Market
• Unsuccessful ness of Student Centered Education System
• Not haveing a proper Education Policy(A National Education Policy)
• Weak Management
• Different treatment for different province
• Lack of Motivation
  

Proper solutions (according to the list)

• Keep Updated ... Let the children use internet and wikipedia and
  

Stuff and disscusss what happens globelly inside the classs , and keep the
syllabus upto date

• Irrelevent Stuff

Use some education specialsts and child psycologists and disscuss what kind of
things shoud this children learn... It's not nesessory to learn Same
mathamathical lesson in 8 grade and 9 grade...

• More theory than Practical

Students learn about rubber industry and growth of the industry and stuff but
some of them has never evn saw a rubber tree... so using the multimedia
facilities.. and use more practical things as relevent

• Dosn't Match with the job market

Yes and it is.. i think that there should be more updated so then it'll match the job market...
Specially i like ur idea about making A/L more english friendly...

• Weaknesses Student Centered Education System

Student Centered education system is the best but it doesnt work properly
because still teachers don't implement this...
Let the student learn don't teach them is the basic idea of it!
But if there's no motivation inside students they will not learn....
"Getherin ewanawata iskole ena nisa"

• Education Policy

As the govenment change the policy change colour the text books in the colour
of thir Party! angry:Gon Stuff)
And change the all education system a country should have plan their future
generation! These policys must made by expets not Polititions

• Weak management

Nothing to tell about this....
Stop politics in our education system

Well actually I think our O/ls has a poor standard. The only subject that had a high standard was Electronics for the Technical Subject and now they have taken that out of the system too.
And I also think that the whole chemistry syllabus is not needed for student who is doing math. Recent research at the Moratuwa university shows that only 6% of the current chemistry syllabus is needed for a student who is doing engineering at the Moratuwa university.
And what subject has the most impact on the z score of a math student? CHEMISTRY!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the authorities should restrict the syllabus of Chemistry for a Math student and they should restrict the Physics syllabus for Bio students.
Would a doctor will ever need the knowledge of electronics and electricity when is doing a surgery??????

I'll comment on the one which are bolted

Well about Chemistry, yes it is not that necessary as other 2 subjects for engineering students, but it is not only Engineering a Math student can get to Other thing is Industrial Chemistry & Inorganic Chemistry is needed heavily along with Organic Chemistry if u r a Chemical Engineer, which is a nother type of Engineering field found in Moratuwa University

Restricting Chemistry to Math students is a foolish thing. As I mentioned about the acedemics purpose of the subject in above para, Chemsistry is a subject which will help to understand about nature in a scientific way, which is the whole basic idea of a Science student(both Math & Bio)
U question about the importance of Electronic & Electrical knowledge for bio students(doctors).Well have u ever come across a field called Micro Biology. Nuero surgents uses their Electrical & Electronic knowledge for their work
Questioning about the need of Physics to a bio student is worthless!

Well about the Z score... well what I have got to say is that it is a complete myth. Z score is all depended on statistical basis I think u r a Math student & must have a idea about the way the Z score is calculated It is one of the most justifiable methods of deciding in a comparable manner. If the Chemistry subjectt is hard for everyone & majority fails, then the median will come down. There is no particular scene like that & the subject that influence more in Z score is Physics. If anyone can score over 80 or about in Physics, he/she will recieve a high Z score

Are u saying that people who qualify to do micro biology are stupid?only a small number will qualify for that. And the knowledge that we gain at A'Ls can be learned at that point.
For ur information Chemical engineering is well taught at Moratuwa.I don't know whether u knew but a year or two ago some ppl tried to introduce electronics as a A-Level subject.Ppl who do math can ditch chemistry and they can only qulify for Electrical and Electronics,physics,maths in University.I think that is a great idea.They should categorize them like that.Its very complicated but for the sake of our country's fate they should have done that?

And its very widely known now as the subject which has the most impact on z score for math student CHEMISTRY i thought u knew that.The government statisticians have confirmed it too.

I never said anything like, what I said was pointing out the importance of Electronic for a bio student. U were the one who said Physics was not so important for a doctor I wish u to be more responsible in telling something in this section, since this is Elakiri Pro section

Well I mentioned that Chemical Engineering is taught at Mora uni Well there is another choice for Math students; Higher Math(included with the important subjects cut off from old syllabus when combining Pure Math & Applied Math) & bio students too with Agriculture
About what u talk about university catergorizing, is it the Physical Special degree u r referring to?
May be my source of information got little array
If u refer to Dr. Rosa's report, he has clearly mentioned about Z score scene. (Dr. Rosa is the official paper maker of the A/L Physics paper)

well bro. agree with u. Sri lankan degree's are well recognize degrees. still university edu sys are kk.

are you sure that anyone who have a credit pass can apply for english teaching ?? omg that is so stupid. how can be a person with credit pass gonna teach eng to someone. even if got a training.
It should be A pass in A/L. teaching is not a joke.

and ya...politics are the main problem in SL...they ruined our country. look at our universities. most of problems happening cuz of politics. that is a main reason to students to go abroad for higher education. same problem with technical stuffs. politics.

they dont wanna make devolop this country or education.

in this case... if there are weak studetnts for maths or science or whatever...they have to have a way to identify there hidden talents.
there choices.what they wanna do.

they may like to work in mechanical field. may be some other field. they should identify that and send them to correct way.
gov should make new technical colleges.
in AUS most students start course in there field while they in high school. most of young people doing trade courses like vehicle painting, reapiring, etc....when they come to 20.. they fully qualified.
in SL.. " igena ganna bari nam uta gahala scolen elaway..eeta passe uth wala bahala ratata barak wenawa. "

​

Well it doesn't have to have complete change, just few modifications
About updating, yes may be updating rate is slow, but updating is not an easy process. Don't forget we are not a developed country (I don't like to use the word Developed but since for the better understading of everyone). We are engaged in a civil war which a high amount of budget is allocated for
Well other stuff u have talked about are not that relevant to Primary & Secondary education since, in the primary & Secondary education is used as more of as a bridge to the Tertiary level of education. Through Primary & Secondary education, the system is focusing on building a general work force. U can't expect everyone to hold a degree, be scientist, an engineer or doctor. There must be second level of work force too(I am truely sorry if I have unwillingly insult anyone, my pure intention was to distinguish the two work forces to show the difference).

Well about politics & stuff, as I mentioned in my first post, a big issue to talk over separately

I am a Royalist my self but the accusation u r bringing is false
It's again a myth, where people tend to spread rumors that colleges like Royal have excess of teachers, they have only the best and so on like that. well it's no secret that Royal College known to one of the finest schools around world have quality teachers & adequate amount Even though u find teachers with high reputation in Royal College, the servise they give to skoo is just about same a so called non-reputed teacher gives It's only in their private classes they give out the best

any thoughts on this as well ?

cuz of no proper plan to that. they didnt train teachers well. some one brought an idea. then they started. students got fuc***.

they should have proper plan. New books, good training.....etc.

I think the authorities should restrict the syllabus of Chemistry for a Math student and they should restrict the Physics syllabus for Bio students.
Would a doctor will ever need the knowledge of electronics and electricity when is doing a surgery??????

machan.. chemistry is not much usefull for maths students. that is stupis thing that restrict it to tham. there should be a selection.

It's again a myth, where people tend to spread rumors that colleges like Royal have excess of teachers, they have only the best and so on like that. well it's no secret that Royal College known to one of the finest schools around world have quality teachers & adequate amount Even though u find teachers with high reputation in Royal College, the servise they give to skoo is just about same a so called non-reputed teacher gives It's only in their private classes they give out the best

machan this is bit off topic. but thought to say after see ur post.

when we are in grade 5... my teacher asked "" oyala loku unama kawru wennada kamathi " half said " doctor " other half " engineer " only 1 said " mama cricketer kenek wenawa "

that is the main idea in our society. doctor or engineer. no one trying to go for a another field.
if u try to do something different everyone may say no no dont do it...bla bla....

yanthama O/L pass unath maths or bio. then they got strucked with those streams. cuz those fields are too hard to them. then results is A/L fail.

some doing al maths bio...then after that cima, cim....lol... if u wanna become accountant or ... why u cant do commerce for A/L... CUZ our students dont have an idea about our job market. about society after A/L. they dng things with out propler aim. teachers not show them a way. cuz they also dnt knw. scole awilla ugannala yanawa. thats all most of times.
im not insulting. but thats what happen.

other thin is in our country there are high class jobs and low class jobs. class difference. then everyone trying to be doctors. why ? what abt nurses...attendents...dont we need them???



sorry about off topic.
