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 .
U know u just don't read my post carefully enough.:) It's just not about entering a certain field that u need Physics. U know my friend, for a succsessfu growth in plants there are more than one factor. The plant may grow with out one or two factors, yet for the maximum harvest, u have to have all the factors;):) Same story here, Physics completes a Science student. The way u r saying, we could askthe bio students to learn the neede Chemistry while they are doing university studies ne;):rofl: The thing is there is more than what it seems in the contribution with Physics for a Bio student. We are going out of topic now:D

Well I just laid my view about the current educational system:D It's ur view, I have reason out about the position I stand today:D:)

Oh, sorry, but wasn't it was Dr. Rosa who did back in 2006 & before?:rolleyes: Anyway out of topic again:rofl:

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..
Wel it's all u have mentioned in details is the ATTITUDES;):)

What can be the solutions for change in these attirudes, cuz I feel once with the change of attitudes, the prevailing Educational System will meet new ends:D

True bro :)

Solution again is proper education ;)

Attitudes should be taught from the kindergarten itself..

Teachers have to encourage students to respect the cleaners in the school as an example....

And students should be given the opportunity to clean the school including the toilets. (These may seem like stupid for some people. But it really has an effect in changing attitudes.)

Then the big thing is to equalize the opportunities, salary structures etc....
Hard. But Government should concider doing this in the long run.... ;)

Oh sorry sorry.. I didn't express myself properly neda :)

Didn't mean giving the same salary to everybody machang :)

But the Sri Lankan salaries should be somewhat parallel.... I mean like if a doctor gets a salary of 35,000 then a cleaner should atleast get 15,000.

AFAIK now the cleaning salary is less than 8,000.

Teachers should get atleast 20,000 - 25,000

All the professionals like Doctors Engineers SW personnel should get a equal salary like 35,000 - 40,000 atleast.

But again, in Asian countries it is hard to do that machang... :)

That's why there are very limited or no developed countries in Asia.

Well u even have questioned how practical it could be!

The question strike me still though is that will it be enough to make an impact on the change of prevailing attitudes. Cuz adjacent to the salary, the self dignity, reputation, recognition & stability of the jobs have erupt questions.

ya true mucho......people in higher ranks don't want to bring down the gap between them and lower ranks.......what they want to do is to widen it as much as possible....:no:
they need a serious brainwash to wipe their wrong attitudes

thats is the main problem in SL machan. there are high class jobs and low class jobs in SL. thats why all are trying go for better jobs and finally get in to problems.

it is too hard to change this attitude machan. people never respect if u r a cleaner or if u r working in restaurant or a garment factory etc....

salaries also not enough and the diference between salaries are really high. That is also a big problem.
