These university academics work 3/4 hours a week. They earn very high salary. Their teaching doesn't produce graduates who are practical. They think they are a special class. In reality they will not be able to get employment in any foreign universities

I don't think most of these people have right to claim themselves as university teachers. Some so-called professors don't have at least a doctorate. Many of them have no single publication in the web of science indexed journals. Some of them have become professors by publishing in predatory journals. But they are too entitled for five figure monthly salary. For what? For being doing nothing?

JVP sponsored protest. They don't want the country to be in a recovery path. It is becoming very clear now.

Tax reduction will benefit all, but how are we going to meet IMF conditions. It is wise to put forward alternative schemes to collect monies by reducing taxes. Always present an alternative before demanding ,which will facilitate all parties.

Privatize all universities, most of the lecturers cannot pass the IELTS exam. Give scholarships to deserving poor students. See the state of the country to judge the service done by these lecturers.
