Private Universities in Place


What we need is a step-by-step plan so that we can get accredited. Seems we can develop the links now to get this done - in higher education, sustainable dev ministries

May need to approach UGC / MOHE

And try to learn from others - get their applications
They all are theoretically non-profit - so not sure what motivates them.

Some of them are incorporated by Act of Parliament - e.g Aquinas, Pilimatalawa Theological College
Almost all the institutes accredited to give degrees are under the companies act with some as Guarantee Companies.

The Guarantee companies - those are the ones to focus on

SLIIT

NSBM

CINEC

SLINTEC

SANAR ?

SLT College
The above originated in the government sector.



These are the private sector ones.

HORIZON ?

KAATSU

ITS - One of the early ones now Closed

SAITM

From the Non-Governmental Sector, we have

SANASA (?) http://www.sanasacampus.lk/meet-the-team.html

SIBA

Maybe SLINTEC is also in this sector with NSF as an investor.

Prof. Wickramagamage on Viability of Setting up a Higher Educaiton Institute

It is doable but you need a huge investment.  Otherwise it will be like a tutory, many such things are in Sri Lanka.               The basic requirements are the land, buildings, laboratories and other infrastructure.  Man power is not a problem in Kandy Area.  You can also think about a different model from what is generally available at State Universities and the private tutories.  A more problem oriented and multi-disciplinary postgraduate degrees should be the focus.  It is also necessary.   Sine a new such institution has a recognition problem, teaming up with a foreign institution might be a good idea.  The market is already crowded with many suspicious institutions, you have to be able to offer a more credible option to the students, local as well as foreign.
