@nimilamalee Maybe because she seems to have had a haircut 😬

We are doing interesting things https://t.co/OnLzsVQnDe

@0xkarasy Orientation/pre-academic plus several weeks of the first semester.

In state universities in SriLanka, once a degree program is started, it can not be stopped or intake reduced.

The Finance Ministry has proposed a drastic reduction in medical school enrollment, considering an expected surplus of doctors due to the country's declining population. https://t.co/54ba5j8zqv

@0xkarasy I am not certain as to how these terms came about, but it could be that we get a shipload of students first and then a handful at a time on these boat rounds.

Battle Bots, battling away!

@0xkarasy To my knowledge that has not happened yet while there are steep declines in demand for many programs. This is true for a couple of programs at my university also. Clearest indication of this scenario is so-called "bottuwa" where UGC go around in cycles trying to fill vacancies.

Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, a Neuroscientist and an Educator, speaks about technology in learning places and cognitive development. While we do education reform with technology adaptation, these are important issues to consider.

@aselawaid @aselawaid, this is like a consultancy assignment but done free of charge noh?

[Chandana Gamage @cd_gamage]

@NisansaDdS I try to keep the number of first classes down starting from the early semesters 😏

[Chandana Gamage @cd_gamage]

Dr @NisansaDdS, I was pretty tangential to this curve. 😀

I was told recently about a school that was shamed into changing its school motto. The motto was "I hear, I see, I learn." Nothing wrong with that per se.Unfortunately the motto was in Latin, and the Latin for "I hear, I see, I learn" is "audio, video, disco".

@h_liyan @NewsWireLK The comment about the large number of holidays spread throughout the year is very valid.

[Chandana Gamage @cd_gamage]

In coming years, prospect of IT, CS and SE undergraduates encountering delayed completion of degree programs due to unavailability of internships is very real. Companies that used to support substantial internship intakes no longer have a need for such eager talent at low cost.

Annual report of the leading research center for analysis of health of global democracy, Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) Institute at Gothenburg University says Sri Lanka is the ONLY country in South and Central Asia that is democratizing (upward trend from last evaluation).👏

@KusumW It would serve us well to remember what the former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said: to be an enemy of the United States is dangerous but to be a friend is fatal.

[Chandana Gamage @cd_gamage]

@KusumW This joke summarizes how our governments function across time epochs. First time: No funds. No fuel. Ration. Second time: Wait until No fuel (reduced to known problem) Ration (implement known solution).
