Read the link below to simply show the extent of cheating by
our Sri Lankan kids. One massive exercise in cheating from a very young age due
to the pressure the kids and parents are under from the Grade 5 exam.
It is clear, from the article that was put out today, 19th
September, that many people get in to
good schools having cheated, and so it is better to just stop this exam and
lessen the burden by abolishing the grade 5 exam forthwith and use other tried
and tested means to measure intelligence and give the truly bright boy or girl
a chance to excel in a better school, which is the whole intention of the
project.
If cheating is so prevalent from a young age, people think
they can get to places by foul means more than fair and it compromises the
whole efficacy of the country Brand as a rogue brand.
Why doesn’t the army of people in the education department
agree to change the system, we know has failed and worse does not provide the
needed HR skills that companies require today.
There are so many vacancies in so many fields that cannot be
filled because we don’t have the people, with the right qualifications to fill
them and we have not changed the Education Curricula and practices to teach the
kids,, skills that will be useful in the modern workplace.
Why is it so hard to convince the inertia in the massive
education department building which is being further expanded to put more emphasis
where it is needed and almost everyday the solutions to the problem are
discussed with no interest by the staff of the Education Department, as it is
just more work.
Just look at the text books most of which hace hardly changed
for last 10 years while the whole world has changed beyond recognition.
Lets first kill the canard that the MCQ are fool proof and
accept that even them are completely fudged, allowing mediocre kids to go to
high places while the best are languishing. It is a crime and the staff in
education must be punished for their INACTIVITY. We are killing our kids with
crap, consigning them to a life of waste, only because we were unwilling to
identify a good from the chaff, being too lazy to use better means of
evaluation!

Why does the gutter press in Sri Lanka not report this massive cheating scandal by our kids?
It further explains why no one wants to work, as they think they can get what they want by engaging in criminal acts, far easily
Oh that's because they only print what someone pays them to say, and they are not independent, only furthering someone's personal agenda
Sri Lanka is full of world class cheaters. if the olympics had cheating as a sport Sri Lanka would finally win its first gold medal!
