The Hon. Ravindra Bandara
Hon. Ravindra Bandara raised a supplementary question on issues at the University of Ruhuna’s Faculty of Engineering, particularly the Department of Electrical and Information Engineering and Computer Engineering. He stated that about 1,000 students across six batches are affected by an academic staff shortage that is preventing the commencement of the fifth and sixth semesters, along with inadequate building facilities. He asked what immediate steps the Ministry would take to address these shortages and infrastructure deficiencies.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my second supplementary question relates to education, since the main question concerns degrees and higher education. The Faculty of Engineering of the University of Ruhuna is a leading engineering faculty. In the Department of Electrical and Information Engineering, especially in Computer Engineering, there are around 1,000 students in six batches. The problem is an academic staff shortage, which now prevents commencing the fifth and sixth semesters. There are also building deficiencies, particularly for Computer Engineering. What immediate steps will the Ministry take?
