Peradeniya Uni Senate
approves four year duration for AHS degrees
Senate of the Peradeniya
University had approved the four year duration of the Allied Health Sciences
degree course at its latest meeting held on Wednesday (21), Peradeniya AHS
Faculty Dean Dr. D. B. M. Wickremeratne said.
He said that the
university’s supreme body Senate had recognised it and approved the making of
syllabi accordingly for four years.
AHS Faculty was started in
2007 in the Peradeniya University and since then six other universities in the
country have commenced AHS courses, but they do not have separate AHS
faculties. At present Universities of Kelaniya, Sri Jayewardenepura, Ruhuna,
Jaffna, Eastern, and South Eastern are the other seats of higher learning where
AHS degree courses are taught.
Dr. Wickremeratne said that
the Senate’s decision would be forwarded to the University Grant Commission’s
approval.
At present, AHS students are
conducting Sathyagrahas at five locations demanding the restoration of four
year degree course. The Sathyagrahas at the Galaha junction, opposite Galle Bus
Stand, opposite Fort Railway Station, opposite Sri Jayewardenepura University
have passed 151, 143, 57 and 15 days respectively. A token stathyagraha is
conducted opposite the UGC every day.
Convener of the Inter
University Students’ Federation Najith Indika said that the decision of the
Senate of the Peradeniya University was a victory for their struggle.
"We are pushing the
Senates of other Universities, too, to approve four year duration for AHS
degrees," Indika said.
