Our aim is to create a critical Sri Lankan who is a global citizen -State Minister of Higher Education
The aim of the government is to create a critical Sri Lankan who is a global citizen to find out answers to modern and futuristic problems, State Minister of Higher Education Dr. Suren Raghavan said.
“Internationalization of our higher education is a number one priority and we hope to infuse the international standards to our universities by at least 2030 so that Sri Lanka universities will be respected universities in the region and in the world.”
The State Minister said that the government would facilitate for Sri Lankan scholars domiciled in other countries to engage in university lecturing in state universities while on vacation or sabbatical leave as a measure to encourage their involvement in our higher education.
He expressed these views on Friday (14) during a press conference themed ‘Collective Path to a Stable Country’ held at the Presidential Media Center (PMC).
