The sl education system is better than england's. When my baby is old enough for school, we will live in sl permanently.


what make u to tell that sl edu sys is better than eng ??

it is more complicated and full of work. as i know it is better. but the problem is higher edu in O/L AND A/L . those subjects not directed them to job market. those are just ordinary stuff most of times. if u want to do something in trades field no uise of following them. u knw wat i mean. and englisgh edu is not much good.

Can't say that the current system is bad. Coz in US, UK, nd Aus even they concider Ari Lankan A/Ls as a really good qualification. Basically it has got status/ recognition more than London A/Ls.

Can't say good as well. Because the subjects don't comply with the job market.

I mean, iskole gihin iwara unahama eliyata enne noyek dewal gana podda podda danna namuth kisima deyak hariyata danne nathi kattiyakne....

Nothing can be done at the O/L and A/L stage as per my thinking.

But what SL do is to open-up some vocational training institutes. Like Tafe in Australia.

Premadasa pradeshiya vishwawidyaala kiyala patan gaththe oya concept eka thamai mata pena widihata. Namuth dan eeka hariyata wenawada kiyala nam danne naha....

Education system must focus more on the career paths mainly.

What do you mean by practical side machang? Any example?


Well.. I said like that because now the students are used to the current "girawa" learning method.

And there will be a shortage of teachers if they change the system...

But I've seen some goodness in the current system with the introduction of assignments etc. (But don't know whether they are there anymore?)

Can anybody define "Change of system"? What do you mean by that?

Well this era in Science field is over:yes:
Don't about the other fields, but in modern days the questions are basically like u say the theory & then they check the apply knowledge of it. What u need is the basics, the evolution, explaining further more, student basically have to know, what made the person who found the theory made him come to in grip with;) (But not all the questions though:dull: :nerd: )

This is there, the assignment activity, but the functioning of it is more corrupted than the SL cabinet;):P

Well I'm no real expert to define this, but what it means in generally is that, convention in the prevailing system. The prevailing system is Student Centerd Studying system. Other than that the the attitudes of the students, parents, teachers etc. There is strong myth ghosting tha son has to become an engineer or doctor in profession to be a successful man and so. The alternatives are been dumped. This is another meaning for the change of system:D

na macho they can do some changes in O/L A/L stages as well. they can change the contents mainly focus with job market and more practical stuff and english. i think if they can convert whole A/L studies to english medium that will be a better isead for future.

and ya machan like TAFE.. we have to have vocatinal training centers.

now after O/L if u fail the xm u dnt have any choice. if there is training schools like that they can go to them and make their carrer in future.

:rolleyes: 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:rolleyes: I wish u to be more responsible in telling something in this section, since this is Elakiri Pro section;):):yes:

Well I mentioned that Chemical Engineering is taught at Mora uni:rolleyes: 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?:confused:
May be my source of information got little array:rolleyes::P:rofl:
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:))



ok first of all Dr Rosa is Not the official paper maker of the Physics paper.ITs Prof Ariyarathne.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

U r not supporting ur earlier points. U said earlier that Physics is needed for doctors because of the fact some get the chance to study micro biology or whatever it is. And physics is needed to study that. Well my point is that they can learn the little bit of physics we do @ A/l’s at that stage.U think the knowledge we gain abt Physics at A/Ls is so great?Well I did Electronics for O/ls machang and I learnt much more about Electronics and Electricity than The A’levels.

My point is a student who is so great at maths can be more handy for the country if his time is spent more learning maths.Its a complete waste of time for him to learn the inorganic reactions which are even not explained how they happen at the A/L stage.Its like studying literature. May be u did not study Maths For A/Ls .
Ever heard of Calculus? Its even needed for bio students at the campus.I think it might be worth for the math students if they study more math than chemistry.
And the z score system is not even transparent anybody who is placed higher in education department can bamboozle it .

    Hmm yes machang... English is a real problem. But first of all there should be properly educated teachers to teach English ne?

    People who can handle English well don't go for teaching. They go for better jobs... Because teaching don't pay them good money for their abilities... :)

    Teaching in English is a good option machang, provided that there are good teachers... So to do that there should be a properly established pay structure for the teachers....

    Ya machang Vocational training centres tikak thibuna nam kiyala wadak naha :) I heard Aussies (Rudd govt.) are planning to bring down some US construction workers... In Sri Lanka there are really superb workers ne machang :) But due to lack of paper qualifications they can't apply for jobs here... There should be faculties to teach Building construction, Welding, Mechanics etc machang...

    We can talk and give many ideas... But again... Do Sri Lanka have money to implement all these?

    Considerable amount has, but most yet lock them self unknowing & wrapped in fear in that cage;)
    It's a pity, but the unawareness has contributed heavily on the matter.

    Ethics is not the problem machang... Culture is the problem. I'm not talking about Sri Lankan culture... it's the culture within the society.

    Will a Manager let his son to go and work at KFC? Believe me... my company's GMs daughter is working at KFC part time..... And she is proud about it...

    People in SL has a huge 'ego' machang... Many are ego maniacs... They think they are the top level people....

    People don't respect cleaners, cmc workers and sometimes even police...

    Everybody do have a self respect and a dignity ne machang....

    That's where it has to be changed... People should start to think everybody is equal. Then many problems will be solved in our country machang... Ego..

    hey this is totally out of the point.This has nothing to do with the system of education.It just depicts the courruption of the government.Whether it is Z SCORE or not they will keep on doing this for ever.:frown:
