  • Keeping Children in Sri Lanka Safe and Empowered Online
    KEEPING CHILDREN IN SRI LANKA SAFE AND EMPOWERED ONLINE A study on Sri Lanka’s digital landscape: Potential risks to children and young people who are online Commissioned by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Conducted by the Institute for Participatory Interaction in Development (IPID) FOREWORD The past decades have seen digital technology transform the world in which we live. Whilst many of us can remember life before these technologies were in mainstream use, for our children and young people who have grown up online, life is unimaginable without them. Digital technology has disrupted entire industries and changed the social landscape. The changes they have ushered in have been broad and are ongoing. Childhood is no exception. Undoubtedly, these technologies have the potential to be a game changer for children, especially those from vulnerable and disadvantaged communities, offering them new opportunities to learn, socialize and make their voices heard. However, they can also be yet another dividing line, exacerbating and enabling inequities to prevail. The Digital Landscape Study explores the way adolescents access and use digital technology in Sri Lanka at present. While identifying gaps in knowledge about children’s digital media practices and their online safety, the report provides some key recommendations for government, NGO’s and the private sector that will help to ensure that digital technologies, and the access to the internet that they afford, bring the maximum benefits to children and young people individually, and to their communities and the country as a whole. Key to this will be a more proactive approach to protecting children from harm - including abuse, exploitation, trafficking, cyberbullying and exposure to unsuitable materials - and securing their privacy as they become prone to risks both online and off line.

  • Abuses in Recruitment Practices at the University of Jaffna
    DISCRIMINATING AGAINST EXCELLENCE: ABUSES IN RECRUITMENT PRACTICES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF JAFFNA SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS • The Subcommittee for Academic Integrity of the Jaffna University Science Teachers’ Association found blatant, endemic abuse across several university departments and units in the selection of academic and non-academic staff. The root of this abuse is both political and personal patronage which operates at all levels of the system, and an unwillingness of senior professors and the administration to challenge it, and of the UGC to fulfil its responsibilities in the selection of able and independent Council members and in the regulation of the administration of universities • The most prevalent form of abuse documented is in the selection of probationary lecturers (or assistant lecturers), resulting in the most highly qualified candidates such as First Class degree-holders being systematically excluded from consideration or denied positions. • We also found evidence of systematic abuse and political manipulation for non-academic staff appointments for Computer Applications Assistants (CAA) and Labourers. Favours were given to labourer candidates that were denied to highly qualified lecturers whose services the university badly needs. We recommend: 1. That all cases where complaints have been filed be reviewed swiftly and highly qualified applicants that were excluded at interviews be called. To guard against retaliation, applicants who have filed complaints should have their cases heard by a special review board appointed in consultation with the Unions. 2. That independent persons of repute with an appreciation of university values should be appointed to the Council as external members, and student representatives and academic staff must be allowed to review their qualifications.

  • Characterization of Irrigation Water Quality of Chunnakam Aquifer in Jaffna Peninsula
    Tropical Agricultural Research Vol. 23 (3): 237 – 248 (2012) Characterization of Irrigation Water Quality of Chunnakam Aquifer in Jaffna Peninsula A. Sutharsiny, S. Pathmarajah1*, M. Thushyanthy2 and V. Meththika3 Postgraduate Institute of Agriculture University of Peradeniya Sri Lanka ABSTRACT. Chunnakam aquifer is the main lime stone aquifer of Jaffna Peninsula. This study focused on characterization of Chunnakam aquifer for its suitability for irrigation. Groundwater samples were collected from wells to represent different uses such as domestic, domestic with home garden, public wells and farm wells during January to April 2011. Important chemical parameters, namely electrical conductivity (EC), chloride, calcium, magnesium, carbonate, bicarbonate, sulfate, sodium and potassium were determined in water samples from 44 wells. Sodium percentage, Sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), and residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC) levels were calculated using standard equations to map the spatial variation of irrigation water quality of the aquifer using GIS. Groundwater was classified based on Chadha diagram and US salinity diagram. Two major hydro chemical facies Ca-Mg-Cl-SO4 and Na-Cl-SO4 were identified using Chadha diagram. Accordingly, it indicates permanent hardness and salinity problems. Based on EC, 16 % of the monitored wells showed good quality and 16 % showed unsuitable water for irrigation. Based on sodium percentage, 7 % has excellent and 23 % has doubtful irrigation water quality. However, according to SAR and RSC values, most of the wells have water good for irrigation. US salinity hazard diagram showed, 16 % as medium salinity and low alkali hazard. These groundwater sources can be used to irrigate all types of soils with little danger of increasing exchangeable sodium in soil.

  • IUC NN Commission Members from Sri Lanka
    International Union for Conservation of Nature IIUUCCNN Commission Members from Sri Lanka Volume I – (Updated on 15.06.2015) IUCN Commission Members from Sri Lanka Message from IUCN National Committee Chair One of the IUCN strengths is to bring ecosystem related information, science and advise into the sustainable development processes. In that context IUCN Sri Lanka has contributed in the past towards a number of national policy and on the ground efforts. At a time post- conflict development in Sri Lanka is advancing fast with potential increase of the pressure on the natural resources. Management of the natural capital in a sustainable way while supporting development is a major challenge where information based multi-sector approaches are very much needed. Already the IUCN developed information on biodiversity, marine and coastal and water resources etc. are being used by the Government, Non-Government and Private Sector, extensively. However Sri Lanka has not fully utilized the potential contribution of IUCN Commissions and its membership. As the new Chairperson of the IUCN National Council, I wish to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the contributions by the IUCN Commissions and Commission members in ensuring this planet a better place for us and the generations to come. Looking forward to work with you more and hope this compendium of experts will be helpful for all and expand to include other Sri Lankan experts as well. Anura Sathurusinghe, Conservator General of Forests and Chairperson, IUCN National Committee 2 IUCN Commission Members from Sri Lanka Forward This directory is prepared for the first time to capture the information on IUCN Sri Lanka related entities.

  • Teaching Students with Special Educational Needs in an Inclusive Educational Setting in Sri Lanka: Regular Class Teacher’ View
    CICE Hiroshima University, Journal of International Cooperation in Education, Vol.19 No.2 (2017) pp.1 ～ 18 Teaching Students with Special Educational Needs in an Inclusive Educational Setting in Sri Lanka: Regular Class Teacher’ View Hiroko Furuta Kumamoto University, Japan K. A. C. Alwis Open University of Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka Abstract This study examined how regular class teachers view teaching students with special educational needs (SEN) in Sri Lankan government schools. Three types of schools in three education zones were visited and 36 teachers were interviewed. The results revealed that all the participants recognized the presence of a student with SEN in their classes, and majority of them were aware that they had given some sorts of accommodations/modifications to teach them. In addition, it was found teachers felt they were supported especially from the school administrators. Results also indicated that teachers face stress or dilemmas when balancing classes to meet the needs of both students with and without SEN. However, there was a pitfall in coordination between teachers of regular classes and special units. More training and seminar need to be introduced on inclusive education strategies and philosophy that reinforces teachers’ professional ideas of accepting students in need. Introduction Inclusive education is a process of strengthening the capacity of the education system to reach out to all learners and can thus be understood as a key strategy to achieve Education for All (EFA), adopted in Jomtien, Thailand (UNESCO 2009). Inclusive education is thought of as an approach to serve children with special educational needs (SEN) within mainstream classrooms.

  • Postcolonial Emotionalism in Shaping Education: an Analysis Of
    The International Education Journal: Comparative Perspectives Vol 15, No 1, 2016, pp. 66-83 http://openjournals.library.usyd.edu.au/index.php/IEJ/index Postcolonial emotionalism in shaping education: An analysis of international school choice in Sri Lanka Virandi Wettewa The University of Sydney: [email protected] This research explores the proliferation of a newer kind of independent ‘international’ schools that has grown in popularity in an otherwise proscribed private education system. These schools provide both foreign and local curriculums in the English medium for a majority of local students. By welcoming students from all ethnic and religious backgrounds, international schools facilitate an agency for multiculturalism. However, the double-edged sword of business and education means that these schools are restricted to a minority that can afford the high fees. In this paper, it is argued that English continues to be perceived as a reminder of colonial rule, a driver of social stratification and a destroyer of tradition contrary to a global language that is omnipresent in contemporary society. The study attempts to outline the reasons behind international school popularity and unpack some of the anxieties that this education system has given rise to in recent times. It looks at the government concerns as well as various stakeholder consternations of providing a ‘global education for local students’ via a mixed method research conducted in four contrasting case studies. This paper contributes to the debates on private school choice and cultural capital; the verdict being that English proficiency and foreign credentials allow for a competitive edge in neo-liberal times yet grounding oneself in the local culture is of paramount importance if education is to be truly international.
