Currently in Sri Lanka the government universities only produce the Medical Doctors. the Intake mechanism of the Government universities is not a acceptable manner. Because its have a quota system; due to that most of the talented peoples also outside. Hence we cannot argue all of the university entrants are talented peoples. Because in Colombo district even 2A B is not enough to enter the Medical faculty but in Nuwerelliya or some other district 3B is enough. So the Education system should be allow that talented peoples also get there medical degree.
But providing free Degree for all is not a possible according to the Sri Lankan National economy strength. then we need to think about the second option; presently its Educational Migration.
Most of the students flying to Russia, China and several other countries to completing their medical degree dream.
According to the statistics it is around 1500 students per year. each of student spending More than 6 million for their education course fee and another 4 million to their living expenses and so on without any income. Due to this Sri Lanka looses 15,000 million rupees foreign currency in every year.
If we provide these degrees in Sri Lanka, We can save this foreign currency and Create different kind of Employment opportunities also. Further Foreign students may be interested and following their degrees in Sri Lanka is also possible. When that kind of Educational system developed several amenities may be developed with that; like hotel industry, tourism and transport. Its leads to us to achieve the vision of Wonder of Asia.
Why Present Medical Faculty Students opposite to this?
The fear if the number of Doctors is increased their demand will be reduce and may be loose their income. So they protest to this Private Educational System without point out their Economic issue, try to convert as social issue. If promoting the
Private education its leads to chance for reduce the quality of Medical degree and Non Qualified persons may become a Doctor.
However its a pointless argument; because Sri Lanka have good monitoring system for Quality assurance. If anyone in Sri Lanka want to practice the profession of medicine they should be have the membership of Sri Lanka Medical Council. So entrance of less qualified doctors is impossible.
Sri Lanka's Doctors : Patient ratio still higher than world health organization standards. Due to that we need more doctors to serve the country. How to Increase that? Population increasing every year. but the Intake of Universities is not increased and Professional migration is high so how to solve these? We cannot increase the intake due resource limits of government universities; Then the only solution is we need Private Medical colleges to increase the quantity of doctors.
Sri Lankan doctors says; The Private Medical Colleges promoting chance to get the Title of Doctor for only Who have richest people of the society.
Yes its may true. Now also the richest people can get the title. because of the foreign universities. So it is also point less. If we developed Private Medical Colleges with in Sri Lanka its may help to middle class people to get the title of Doctor. because the cost of course fee should be less than present foreign degree cost.
Other professions allow to people study in externally and serve the country So Why Doctors Cannot Allow?
Many private universities are providing
- 1. Engineering degrees in Civil, Electronics, Computer Science and etc.
- 2. Accounting Degrees
- 3. Law and legal degrees
Due to Sri Lankan Culture Doctors have good social prestige. If the no of peoples with the Title of Doctors its should be reduce so the present doctors does not like to loose their prestige.
They Not Worry about Peoples, Nations Sustainability and Development of Country
