The mind bogglingly insensitive comments
attributed to the Education Minister no less, is proof if ever we needed, that
the people occupying such positions are simply NOT qualified for them. By not
being partisan, I must confess that the utterances of the previous Education
Minister, Bandula Gunewardena were even more puerile, to a standard of being
from someone with a developmental disability, reflects the state of education
in Sri Lanka today.
I have listed the links to the intellectual
discussion relating to the privacy rights, and rights of disclosure, and what cannot
be said etc. so that the reader can determine for themselves, whether I am fair
or unfair on this criticism.
Added to this faux pas from people who should
know better, the Higher Education Minister no less has added to his long list of
deficiencies by attacking his detractors, a totally futile proposition, that any
politician worthy of being called that name would accept.
With members of the Cabinet hogging all the
limelight of the news, it must seem to an Extraterrestrial observer, that the only
thing wrong in Sri Lanka are its leaders who hog the limelight, as it is a place
so boring that ministers falling flat on their faces is the only news worthy of
publishing.

ReplyDeleteIt was quite plain all along that Akila Viraj was too naive and inexperienced to handle something as important as the education portfolio. Shudder when I think of the damage he is still capable of doing to the sector.It's Ranil's fault; he should know better. Must have had such an inadequate pool to choose from in the first place.
