Value of university education

A recent study indicates that university education is extremely valuable. It has shown clearly that graduates with bachelor’s degree makes more money than those who never obtained a university degree (US. Bureau of Labour Statistics, 2012). These findings are important for Sri Lankan students and parents who are also preparing for one of the most important decisions in their life. It’s a well-known fact that good university education will lead to excellent career opportunities. Students with full-internal university degrees enjoy many advantages over those who don’t have such qualifications. In an environment full of diploma, on-line, external, distant and other similar options students and parents must carefully evaluate their options when selecting a suitable university and degree programme.

True university education – Not just examinations or assignments

Good university education leads to excellent career opportunities in leading local and international companies, top salaries, and many other advantages. Immediate university education after O/Level and A/Level examinations will let you save valuable time and money.

Acceptance and ranking of the degree program and the university

Degree awarding universities of most private education providers in Sri Lanka are based overseas. In order to make an informed decision Sri Lankan degree seeking students and parents must refer to globally recognized university rankings such as Times Higher Education ranking and US News and World Report. University ranking and recognition can be a decisive factor in gaining access to well paid jobs and ensuring a place in an esteemed postgraduate intuition.

Academic quality assurances

Degrees awarded locally by these foreign universities must be identical to those granted by the partner universities, and they should be accredited through the relevant accreditation bodies. The partner universities should conduct regular audits and assure equal academic and infrastructural standards. All national and regional accredited universities are listed in the UNESCO handbook of universities. This is used as the guideline by all government higher education authorities including UGC (University Grants Commission) in Sri Lanka.

Qualified and experienced faculty

Certain foreign qualifications offered in Sri Lanka are taught by faculty without relevant foreign exposure. This prevents students benefiting from complete international education experience. Furthermore in some institutions it’s common practice to see faculty members with basic professional or academic qualifications teaching areas outside of their sphere of expertise.

Local Campus Resources

As students of foreign university qualifications you are entitled to at minimum certain basic facilities from the local education provider. A good library and student resource center with adequate reading and study material, computer labs with up-to-date hardware and software configurations and high-speed internet connections, fully equipped engineering and science labs, class room with proper seating, space and basic facilities such as multimedia, internet, and air-conditioning are considered as the absolute minimum for any international university student. As a result of limited local resources most students are unable to enjoy the full benefits of their degree programme.

Job prospects for graduates

The true meaning of university education goes beyond examinations and project assignments. Employers today need graduates with multiple skills who can start with minimum training. This is even more valid for regional and global employment where only the very best gets selected for top jobs. The examination focused approach of most institutions fails to achieve the full potential of modern university education. The resulting graduates are not what the companies want.

Real value for money

It’s sad to see that many parents and students wasting millions of rupees due to the lack of knowledge in their education decision making. As rightful consumers parents and students have a right to question whether they get full value for their education investment.
