Valuable degrees in Sri Lanka's dustbin,

In an era where the value of Sri Lanka's education is falling to zero, I will first ask you what is the result of talking about the development of a country in an era where exams are not given due attention.  27 people along with the union secretary are arrested at a time when the country is being ruled by a party that claims to give a hand to education.

It is a pity that the lives of university students who graduated with high results in the biology section of the highly competitive A-level examination, who faced many hardships during their one-year university education, are going to be wasted.

By the year 1995, discussions began on the initiation of health degree courses for qualitative and quantitative development in the Sri Lankan health sector.  In the year 2003, the Parliament approved the Samasukhya degree courses and in the year 2005, the students who appeared in the General Certificate of Education A Level Examination and scored high marks came to Peradeniya University on July 17, 2006 as the first group of Samasukhya students.  But even though many people tried to kill the same system in Thimbiri itself without making it a reality, the first group of health students including the 2005 year group, the teaching staff and the people in the field made a huge amount of commitment to prevent it from happening.  Therefore, the associate health degree course started in many other universities.

Graduates in Somatic Sciences are essential professionals for the country for quality healthcare as well as graduates in Medicine.

 The sad thing is that even though the problems of the public universities that are born from free education have been there so far, the rulers have ignored them and turned the co-health degrees into a commodity.

We believe that education and health are human rights, not privileges.  Therefore, it is time to talk about injustice based on money and profit.

The allied health professionals who have come through such a difficult journey are demanding that specific reforms be implemented and solutions to their problems be implemented. In an era when education is falling into the garbage gang, I would like to say that it is the responsibility of the government to allow them to serve the country with what they have learned.
