Hi Im Naseef here I would like to know what are the criterias to be a member in NPP, Do you have any limitations?
Hello, I have some questions regarding some important issues in our education system. I want to know how the NPP government will address them: 1. How will you combat the ragging problem in our State-owned universities? Many students who come from main schools with good A Level results and Z-scores fear going to State universities, especially Arts faculties, because of the inhumane ragging. Also, the politicisation of State-unis where the students are forced to go for protests by IUSF and other unions, and also the strikes of non-academic staff etc., make us spend more than 4 years to obtain our degree. It's a big waste of time. Some say that JVP/FSP is behind both ragging and boycotts. 2. How will you help the students who have gone to International Schools and therefore have London OLs and ALs, in English-medium? They are also citizens and voters of this country. They can't go to State-universities because their qualifications aren't recognised, nor should they, they will struggle with the language barrier and deprive a spot from a local ALs possessing student. But the International students are stuck. Many of them can't afford to go for Higher Education overseas without taking on enormous loans. I have a friend who schooled at a small international school, his parents are considering selling property and going into debt just for him to go to a decent foreign university. They are left with poor-quality private campuses here who don't teach at a right quality and falsely claim to be accredited by UGC/foreign universities. People say JVP protested against Monash University, a world-top G8 university, from putting a campus here. They instead moved to Malaysia and today earn hundreds of millions of foreign exchange for Malaysia. Will the NPP allow quality foreign universities to set up here? This can stop needless dollars flowing out of the country also. Will you close down international schools, or implement a strict set of regulations for them to follow, just like private campuses here? Even with international schools there're problems of quality. 3. What is your policy regarding English-medium education in local schools? I remember that in early 2000s JVP was against it. We need to speak English alongside our mother tongue Sinhala, keeping Sinhala/Tamil as our main languages, but also promoting fluency in English, just like Singapore and Malaysia, so that we can trade and engage with the international community. If NPP is for promoting bilingualism, how will you promote it? I have watched videos of Comrade AKD saying that even rural schools will be guaranteed quality teachers, not just for English but for all subjects, and that if rural schools are deprived, they can take legal action against the Ministry of Education. That's a great policy I hope you implement it. 4. And finally, how will you improve funding for teachers' salaries, recruitment, schools development, IT device connectivity, etc.? Sorry if this is a long question, looking forward to NPP addressing all this in their Education Policy Document that will hopefully be released soon.
