(UTV | COLOMBO) – The higher education system should be designed in such a way that would enable graduates to find employment opportunities speedily, who entre the labour market upon completion of their university education, President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has said.
Regardless of the definitions given to university education, if young people graduating from universities are unable to find jobs, there must be something intrinsically wrong with the system, the President has said, pointing out that there should be an education system that makes job opportunities run after graduates instead of them staging demonstrations demanding employment.
President Rajapaksa made these remarks during a meeting held at the Presidential Secretariat, on Friday (15) with the Vice-Chancellors of Universities and the Chairman of the University Grants Commission, the President’s Media Division (PMD) said in a statement.
The Universities and the Schools should reopen only in accordance with recommendations of the health authorities, the President stressed this adding that the present context must be utilized to further expand the already introduced distance learning system.
