Mr. Aruna Kooragama – President PMI Sri Lankan chapter.”
He expressed that, “We expect our children to take the path we defined without understanding the real skills, competencies and capabilities they possess. Recently I met a few students who studiedtheir A/Ls in Bioscience stream. When I talk to them they are thinking they have no option in the world except Medicine and Bioscience. But our universities can absorb only less than 2000 students in to the Medical faculties. Missing that golden opportunity to serve the nation in gold is not missing their life to perform and serve the country. See, they have really forgotten that they were a selected special, even by studying for the A/Ls Bioscience stream.They have forgotten their performance at O/Ls and the challenge they have taken to pass A/Ls. Students who have done Bioscience and missed Medical faculty or Bioscience faculty are eligible and capable to get in to any degree stream like Business Management, Accountancy, Engineering, Law or IT as A/Ls Mathematics students have already realised and taken actions. Further as real performers they are capable of getting in to any stream and bringing optimum value to the specialised domain”.
He further explained “Our Youth Leadership Camp may enlighten them further on future avenues without getting deserted without a successive path to progress”.
CEO further emphasised, “WCMT Campus staff is currently makingall the arrangements to make these two days one of the most memorable days in their young life.” He further added, “WCMT Campus and all the other sponsors are willing to announce lucrative scholarships, discounts, gifts and certificates for the children successfully completing the two days non-residentialcamp”
He further added that, “This is purely a CSR event, as such all students are to participate free of charge, upon prior registration with us through schools or direct. “ The parents also can come to WCMT Campus premises and stay throughout the workshop with prior approval” he noted.
