A Quiz and a Discussion on Free Education: How Can We Get This Right? 26th October 2025

This was an excellent discussion that will help many of our citizens and policymakers understand the education reforms needed to ensure that Free Education is, in fact, proper free education, as it is defined. It also emphasised the importance of promoting an educational and research culture so that all students who are willing and qualified can receive the education they seek and deserve, with quality and fairness. The 30-year war should not be used as an excuse, as it often has been by our politicians. Therefore, please contribute to this discussion in any way you can—by giving talks, hosting discussions, or publishing on this topic—with the shared goal of enhancing education and research in Sri Lanka, while upholding honesty, discipline, integrity, and good manners.
