  • A Case Study of Sri Lankan Media
    C olonials, bourgeoisies and media dynasties: A case study of Sri Lankan media. Abstract: Despite enjoying nearly two centuries of news media, Sri Lanka has been slow to adopt western liberalist concepts of free media, and the print medium which has been the dominant format of news has remained largely in the hands of a select few – essentially three major newspaper groups related to each other by blood or marriage. However the arrival of television and the change in electronic media ownership laws have enabled a number of ‘independent’ actors to enter the Sri Lankan media scene. The newcomers have thus been able to challenge the traditional and incestuous bourgeois hold on media control and agenda setting. This paper outlines the development of news media in Sri Lanka, and attempts to trace the changes in the media ownership and audience. It follows the development of media from the establishment of the first state-sanctioned newspaper to the budding FM radio stations that appear to have achieved the seemingly impossible – namely snatching media control from the Wijewardene, Senanayake, Jayawardene, Wickremasinghe, Bandaranaike bourgeoisie family nexus. Linda Brady Central Queensland University ejournalist.au.com©2005 Central Queensland University 1 Introduction: Media as an imprint on the tapestry of Ceylonese political evolution. The former British colony of Ceylon has a long history of media, dating back to the publication of the first Dutch Prayer Book in 1737 - under the patronage of Ceylon’s Dutch governor Gustaaf Willem Baron van Imhoff (1736-39), and the advent of the ‘newspaper’ by the British in 1833. By the 1920’s the island nation was finding strength as a pioneer in Asian radio but subsequently became a relative latecomer to television by the time it was introduced to the island in the late1970’s.

GUNAWARDHANAL 410/120, Baztddhaloka Mawntha, Colombo 07 "epartn~ent of'Clienzistry, University of Colontho, Coloinbo 3 (Received: 02 February 1998; accepted: 02 October 1998) Abstract: University education started in 1921 with the establishment of the Ceylon [Jniversity College located adjacent to Royal College, Colombo. This became the Unjversity of Ceylon in 1942. Since then there has been a rapid increase in the number of universities. At present there are twelve including the Open University. Teaching ofphysical sciences has generally kept pace with the needs of the country. Course content has changed and methods of teaching and evaluation have also undergone change. More emphasis on technical education and for research relevant to the development needs of the country is needed. There is also a need to provide more incentives in all research institutions for research, oriented towards the award of postgracluate degrees. Key words: Education, higher, physical science, tertiary education, universities 1.0 DEVELOPMENTS IN TERTIARY EDUCATION Tertiary education in Sri Lanka at present is conducted mainly in Universj.ties and other higher educational institutions such as technical colleges and academic professional colleges. Most of them are run by the government whi1.e some are privately owned. 1.1 Universities In the nineteenth century and the first four decades of the twentieth, there was no university in Sri L'vlka (then Ceylon). A few colleges, particularly Royal College, prepared students to sit examinations conducted by foreign universities such as Calcutta University and later University of London.

  • Revolutionary Development of Computer Education – a Success Story
    Revolutionary Development of Computer Education – A Success Story Nandasara S.T. , Samaranayake V. K. and Yoshiki Mikami [Nandasara, Samaranayake] University of Colombo School of Computing (UCSC) No. 35, Reid Avenue, Colombo 3, Sri Lanka <{stn, vks}@ucsc.cmb.ac.lk>, http://www.ucsc.cmb.ac.lk [Yoshiki] Nagaoka University of Technology, Nagaoka, Niigata, Japan, <[email protected]>, http://www.nagaokaut.ac.jp Abstract. The University of Colombo, Sri Lanka has been in the forefront of the “Computer Revolution” in Sri Lanka. It has introduced the teaching of computer programming and applications as early as in 1967, more than a decade before other educational institutions, thereby producing, over the years, a large number of pioneer computer scientists and IT graduates out of students entering the university from a variety of disciplines. They are presently employed as researchers, educators, data processing managers, analyst programmers, software engineers and in many others in the professional field of information technology, not only in Sri Lanka but also in other countries. Established in 1870 as the Ceylon Medical College by the government of that day under the leadership of Governor Sir Hercules Robinson, the University of Colombo could claim to have been associated with higher education for over 130 years. The University has become a center of excellence of international repute that contributes significantly towards national development and human resource development in the field on computer science and information communication technology, particularly in the South and South East Asian Region. This paper presents the milestones of the success story, which did not occur without a policy, plan, leadership, group work, collaboration, and donor support.

The readers of the Miscellany are already aware of the existence of an organization called “The Jaffna Teachers’ Institute.” For several months past allu­ sions to this organization have appeared in the Miscellany pages, together with articles which have given a hint at least of the character of this move­ ment. The Morning Star for September 28th, 1910, also contained an illuminating article entitled “The History and Aim of the Jaffna Teachers’ Institute.” Since that date, however, the Institute has been making rapid strides, fulfilling some of the hopes expressed in that article and exceeding others. And since the whole movement touchts Jaffna College so intimately, and since it is withal such an important departure in Ceylon educational methods and means, we believe that the Alumni readers of the Miscellany will welcome a brief resume of the 2 history of this organization together with an account of its present standing and promise.

    Tribute Professor Colvin Goonaratna – an academic professional with loads of talent Anuruddha M Abeygunasekera1 For more than 25 years I have had the privilege and pleasure of enjoying a close friendship with Professor Colvin Goonaratna, a great medical teacher, skilled and inventive researcher, practical and efficient manager, and Sri Lanka’s unrivalled medical editor and writer. I count our friendship, which commenced from my special interest in clinical research and writing, as one of the blessings of my life. We rejoice that he is still bristling with ideas for research and writing although he is now over 80 years. Doing justice to his life and work requires a lengthy essay. I trust that the editors would please oblige by publishing this article, for “The history of the world is but the biography of great men” as Thomas Carlyle has asserted. Colvin Goonaratna (CG) was born in September 1937. His primary education was at a vernacular Temple School in Rawatawatta and Prince of Wales’ College in Moratuwa. His secondary education was at Royal College Colombo. CG entered the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Ceylon in 1957, and qualified MBBS in 1962, with Second Class Honours in the 2nd, 3rd and Final examinations. After his internship year at the General Hospital Colombo (now NHSL) he was transferred, with his consent, to the General Hospital Badulla as Senior House Officer to the Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Dr. T. N. Shanmugalingam. Doctors were in short supply at that time, so within six months he was also appointed Acting Judicial Medical Officer for the Badulla District.
