What After A/L’s ?
Continued :
Selecting an accredited & recognised Higher
educational institution to get your Degree!!! (Part 02)
As we
discussed in my previous two related articles (links given above) about the Higher education options a Sri Lankan Student
has in Sri Lanka, in their quest
for higher education and training, students and the public sometimes encounter
“DEGREE MILLS” – dubious providers of educational offerings or operations that
offer certificates and degrees that may be considered bogus.
After A/L’s, if you have not entered a local National University system,
of course you can do A/L’s for one more year. Annually around 200000 students
sit for the A/L exam in Sri Lanka. Only 16%
of all eligible Sri Lankan students are recruited to local National
Universities, according to the University Grants Commission (UGC) website,
leaving 84% neglected in terms of access to higher studies. This has resulted
in over 9% studying abroad, a number based on unconfirmed statistical data,
according to top Sri Lankan academic, Dr. Athula Ranasinghe, the Head of
Economics at the University of Colombo.
I hope that now you have a clear idea of how to choose a recognised
university for you or your son/daughter in Sri Lanka or abroad after reading my
related 1st & 2nd Articles.
I further wish to stress on the part that we should always go for a
University in the following two groups which I have explained in my previous
articles as well.
I have highlighted the Admission criteria’s of both the Universities Associations which are set to ensure that universities within the Association membership are committed to the mission, vision and values of the Association, as well as a steadfast belief in education, social responsibility, international development, and collaboration with other like-minded institutions.

2. International Association of Universities
Association of Commonwealth Universities :
As the first; and the oldest international recognised & highly
reputed University network in the world, the Association of Commonwealth
Universities (ACU) has been serving for more than 100 years to the Globe,
established in 1913. With over 500 University members, ACU represents a range
of public and private universities throughout the Commonwealth.
The ACU is equally proud to be able to draw on its own and its members'
experience and expertise in the planning and introduction of new and innovative
programmes that continue to meet the needs of higher education, now and into
the future.

International Association of Universities :
IAU, founded in 1950, is the
UNESCO-based worldwide association of higher education institutions. It brings
together institutions and organisations from some 120 countries for reflection
and action on common concerns and collaborates with various international,
regional and national bodies active in higher education.
Admission

AU
institutional membership is open to institutions whose main objective is higher
education and the development of knowledge. Applying Universities and other
higher education institutions must:
·
be public or private not-for-profit;
·
be degree-conferring institutions;
·
be recognized by a national competent body or its equivalent;
·
have undergone, at the national or regional level, a process of
quality assurance or accreditation, or, if such a process does not exist, be a

Since 1991 AMASA
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES has been consulting and admitting over
5000 Sri Lankan students to mainly Indian Government Commonwealth
Universities and also for other countries such as New Zealand, Malaysia, Canada
etc,... .
Majority of our students have gone to India as you can finish a complete
degree including 3 year Hostel fees, 3 years food & living expenses &
total University fees within Rs. 10 00 000.00 (One million Sri Lankan
Rupees). That too you can pay in instalments within the 3 years.
After graduation they then either come back to Sri Lanka to follow the
Postgraduates in any National Government University such as, University
of Peradeniya or University of Sri Jayawardenapura etc,… or some migrates to
countries like Australia, UK, USA, Canada, Europe etc,...
We assist them in each and every step they take until they
finish their studies.
Further we do assist them
in getting Permanent Residency in Countries like New Zealand
& Canada as well.
