SAITM

This is a very convoluted and difficult to understand post. It is directly on my thoughts on 25/04/2017 press interview.

Our politicians start their discussion on free education and reaffirm that they are committed to protect free education. In the middle of the way they say that SAITM is equipped with all the professors, lecturers and consultants and state medical faculties do not have that. But they do not come with a proposal how they are going to recruit the staff to state medical faculties.

Okay, lets hope that government gives SAITM hospital and gives clinical training and that solution is accepted by all other parties. What is the government planing to do if many more private faculties come up and request for government hospitals? So if government starts to give hospitals on what basis would they be giving. Definitely it should be on bidding basis. It would be like government bidding the patients for private entities. Isn't there a ethical issue and how could the patient's rights and the consumer's rights (private medical faculties) be balanced.

One minister tells a very convoluted false history about communism and how it has failed. Our media personnel do not have the necessary knowledge to call it a lie. If communism is a failure story, then capitalism should be a success story. But it is not so. Many countries which had capitalism has also failed miserably. There are successful countries with communism/ socialism. Maybe we should consider of changing the name of our country from "Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka" to "Autocratic Republic of Sri Lanka".

It is very sad to see that UGC chairman quoting that from Kilinochchi, students entered with 3S for Medicine in 2009. Northern province just emerged from the war and they are forgetting how those students would have studied with ongoing war.

Our politicians are quoting the ranking of universities, without considering the criteria which is used for the ranking and saying that our universities are behind in the ranks. Sri Lankan universities are mainly cater to undergraduate courses and postgraduate and research projects are done very less and government funding is also less.

Anyways I could write forever on the malice of our politicians and the stupidity of the people to vote these politicians to power.
