Higher Education Opportunities in Sri Lanka
Sri Lankan education system can cater only to a very small proportion of the population of the country: the limited number of placements available in state universities disappoints nearly 150, 000 students who qualify for university education every year. However, Full time employees with a bachelor’s degree earn 84 percent more over their life time than those with only a high school diploma. There are many nonstate educational institutes across the country, and they offer various degree programs in different fields of study: ANC Education, since its inception in 2002, has been the No. 1 choice in Sri Lanka for providing a distinctive tertiary education focused on producing global professionals.
Making the right choice after A/L
Even though there are hundreds of education institutes offering various degree programs, poor relevance of these programs to the industry and commerce is one of the major issues besetting Sri Lankan education system. In this context, choosing the right program that best fits your interests and career goals is of great importance. Also, certain qualifications offered by several places are of questionable recognition and authenticity. Nevertheless, industry focused curriculums at ANC are recognized by the University Grants Commission, Sri Lanka. What’s more, ANC degree programs are quality assured by its partner universities. Above all, students receive their academic transcripts, identical to those of their US counterparts, only from the partner universities.
Start Where You Are!
Those who have gained satisfactory A/L grades are eligible to claim exemptions; nevertheless, not getting the grades you were expecting doesn’t have to be demotivating, for U. S. education system allows students to start an undergraduate degree right after GCSEs or O levels as O level is equivalent to a high school diploma in the U.S.A. For those who have studied in the Sinhala medium, remedial English classes are conducted free of charge to enable them to continue their studies in the English medium.
