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.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /> 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<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" />) 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<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/wink.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" />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.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/wink.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" /> (I'll comment on that later<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/wink.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" />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<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/wink.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
