Chairperson of Sri Lanka's
University Grants Commission Prof. Kshanika Hirimburegama said that the
Ministry of Higher Education is planning to establish technology departments or
faculties in universities to cater to the new technology stream students entering
the universities in 2016.
With the intention of
preparing the youth to suit the modern high-tech employment market, Sri Lanka
has taken measures to enrich the school curriculum with a new subject stream
that focuses on advance technologies.
The departments or the
faculties to be initiated for the technology stream will be affiliated to the
science faculties.
University Grants Commission
and the universities are also planning new degree courses for these students.
The graduates will be offered the Bachelor of Technology degrees.
The Ministry of Education
introduced the new technology stream in schools as a pilot project in July and
the first batch of technology students will enter the universities in 2015.
The Technology stream is
introduced in addition to the current subject streams, Arts, Science,
Mathematics and Commerce.

A technology degree has more scope for employment than obtaining an Arts degree.
