Education for all at an affordable cost - Prof. Vidanapathirana

“Thanks to our high literacy rate, Sri Lankans place a high value on education but it can be so much that they go to the extent of mortgaging their properties to send their children abroad for higher studies,” said Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Upali Vidanapathirana.

He added, “We don’t need to drain money out of our country by remitting it elsewhere and our education system is good which is available at an affordable cost.

This can minimise many going into debt by spending money in international universities and give monetary benefits for our country.”

The Open University recently celebrated its 30th anniversary with a 3-day exhibition and Open Day where potential students can browse around the four faculties and decide in an area to specialise in.

Different streams

The subjects are Health Sciences, Engineering and IT, Education and Law.

“We are also the first in Sri Lanka to have a fully-equipped Mechatronics laboratory and also were the first to start the Industrial Automation course which has given plenty of jobs to our students”, said the Professor.

He said, “We can safely say that more than our actual in-house courses at the Open University, we have one of the best online distance learning courses where even international students have expressed interest.”

The Open University is renowned for its prestigious law and pre-school childhood development programs which have made it a reputed university in the employment sector.
