The Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya - Prime Minister and Minister of Education, Higher Education and Vocational Education
The Prime Minister stated that each university degree programme is being assessed separately to ensure the first graduating batch receives recognized and adequate qualifications. She said subject experts are being appointed to advise on quality assurance, with simpler programmes expected to be resolved sooner and more complex ones requiring further scrutiny. She emphasized that no student would be allowed to graduate without guarantees of acceptable quality and recognition by the university system and relevant stakeholders.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, the university runs several degree programmes, and each must be assessed separately. We are doing our utmost to ensure the first batch graduates with adequate qualifications and a recognized degree. Some programmes are less complicated, and we are confident of early solutions. Others need more rigorous assessment. We are appointing subject experts to advise on ensuring acceptable quality, recognized by the university system and other stakeholders. We will not allow any student to graduate without that guarantee.
