Government to set up university for police
Government will set up a university for the Police and Criminal Justice similar to that of the Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said recently.
“We must not to look at the University Structure of Sri Lanka or UK when we design the structure of the proposed Police and Criminal Justice University but look at the structure of Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia which has a deputy Vice Chancellor for Academic Development and Staff programme,” the Prime Minister said.
Prime Minister Wickremesinghe was addressing the International Industrial Mathematics Conference 2016, organised by the Department of Mathematics, University of Sri Jayawardenapura held at Fingara Town and Country Club, Rattanapitiya, Boralesgamuwa.
The Prime Minister also asserted on the need to change the university structure.
“This is an ideal time to bring structural reforms to the country’s higher education especially make changes in the ideology and structure of Sri Lanka’s universities since we have a multi-party state,” the Prime Minister said.
The Premier also said that it was hard to bring reforms to the country’s university education due to the interference of political parties with ideologies.
“Under the leadership of President Maithripala Sirisena, now we have a multi-party state. So this is an ideal opportunity for us to work for the country’s development. So I invite university academics and other relevant authorities to join hands to bring reforms to country’s university education by making the maximum use of this opportunity,” the Premier said.
He also emphasised the necessity of establishing language labs in universities.
The Prime Minister said the government has already paid attention towards the uplift of the country’s school education system and added that the government has also taken measures to preserve the country’s history by establishing a separate institution on history.

Good idea to control these brainless idiots.
Good move. Hope Criminals will come as lecturers.
Trouble is who is going to teach there. Ex-Batalanda officials?
Another batch of unemployed graduates ! More street demonstrations.
Will this university be located in Medamulana? That is where the talent is !
This University should built in Valvettithurai where our late leader, Hon Velupillai was born.
The community in Valvettithurai had significant brain power to challenge the existence of an elected Government and its armed forces for over 30 years.
The Valvettithurai residents have been blessed with superior brain power and this brain power should be used by the Sri Lankan state to solve terrible crimes that are committed in the south of Sri Lanka.
The Police in the south are fumbling in solving crimes including financial crimes; GOSL should utilise the brain power in Valvettithurai to solve these crimes including Lasantha and Thajudeen murder and KRRISH commissions and CSN crimes and BR 10% commissions and GR unknown crimes.
Well said, Atoun,
You are a CHAMPION.
If you Hon Leader is still alive, we the sinhala speaking people of this country would like to have HIM as the leader for 20 years. That is the only way we can get rid of the rubbish leaders in the Sinhala community who speak one thing and do exactly the opposite.
All the corrupt leaders should not only be imprisoned and rehabilitated but should be banned for life from holding leadership positions. Only Velu the Great has the will power to go down this path.
Yes Anton Balasuntharam, I agree with you. I know Valvettithurai has (Had?) significant brain power to kidnap Tamil Children, brain wash them, put a Cyanide capsule around their neck send to the front while Velupillai’s children had an opportunity study and end up in international universities.
VP’s entire family except the youngest son was wiped out by the GOSL armed forces on 19 May, 2009.
Channel 4 has provided video evidence of the fate of his last born who was captured alive by GOSL forces.
Mr Amarakoon, Sri Lanka thrives on falsehoods, innuendo and the grapevine. A person of your intellect is expected stand taller than the average citizen.
If the GOSL Armed forces wiped the whole Brabhakaran family they did the right thing. If you cut a tree that gives you a lot of trouble and leave the roots the chances are it will grow again. If you know what I mean. It’s very strange that no one mentions the luxury life Velu had while he sent so many innocent young tamils to the front lines.That shows what selfish Hypocrite the bastard was. Good Riddance is all I have to say.
