This publication dedicates a large array of data from different sources nevertheless could be used an input for creating valuable information. As we are well aware, data and information play a huge role in decision making process. It is a prerequisite for any aspect of planning process. It is acceptable fact that, data is just only raw material which representing of facts, concepts or instructions in a formalized manner. Information is considered to be the output from an information system, with data (raw, unprocessed, collected "facts”) being input. Understanding this fact, we as responsible agency for sub national level planning proudly present “Statistical Hand Book-2018”in compiling most important data required for decision making process. I believe that our effort will lead to enhance the capacity and capability of stakeholders those who are engaging in the development process in the capacity of planning, management and policy making.

  • Experience at Sri Lanka Telecom
    Changing an Organizational Culture through Social Dialogue: Experience at Sri Lanka Telecom Introduction There is a continuing debate on the feasibility and even the desirability of changing organisational cultures through managerial interventions. Those who follow the anthropological approach tend to view the organisation as a culture in itself, a root metaphor, which cannot be manipulated or changed by such interventions (Meek 1988). Others, while taking a less orthodox view, have shown the difficulty of changing organisational cultures due to several reasons, including time and resource commitments and the ethical questions arising out of managers' attempts to change employees' beliefs and values (Harrison & Shirom 1999; Willmott 1993). The alternative approach is to look at culture as something that the organisation has, a variable that can be manipulated and managed, though with some difficulty, to achieve specific organisational objectives (Armstrong 1990; Goffee & Jones 1998). Proponents of this approach are of the view that managers have a responsibility to review organisation culture and make appropriate adjustments to suit growing organisational complexity and to meet changing environmental circumstances (Deal & Kennedy 1982; Mabey & Salaman 1995; Thornhill et. al., 2000;). The 'success stories' of major culture change programmes at British Airways, ICL and British Telecom (Armstrong 1990; Price & Murphy 1987) and Nissan (Kotter & Heskett 1992) are frequently cited as prime examples of effective culture change through managerial interventions. Two major approaches to changing an organisation culture have been identified: the top down and the bottom up (Thornhill et al., 2000). In the top down, which is sometimes referred to as the 'culture engineering approach' (See Palmer & Handy 2000), it is assumed that the management and in particular the top management of an organisation has full knowledge of the desired values, norms and the behaviour expected of all organistional members to achieve success.

    GEOGRAPHY Grade 11 (for Grade 11, commencing from 2008) Teachers' Instructional Manual Department of Social Sciences Faculty of Languages, Humanities and Social Sciences National Institute of Education Maharagama. 2008 i Geography Grade 11 Teachers’ Instructional Manual © National Institute of Education First Print in 2007 Faculty of Languages, Humanities and Social Sciences Department of Social Science National Institute of Education Printing: The Press, National Institute of Education, Maharagama. ii Forward Being the first revision of the Curriculum for the new millenium, this could be regarded as an approach to overcome a few problems in the school system existing at present. This curriculum is planned with the aim of avoiding individual and social weaknesses as well as in the way of thinking that the present day youth are confronted. When considering the system of education in Asia, Sri Lanka was in the forefront in the field of education a few years back. But at present the countries in Asia have advanced over Sri Lanka. Taking decisions based on the existing system and presenting the same repeatedly without a new vision is one reason for this backwardness. The officers of the National Institute of Education have taken courage to revise the curriculum with a new vision to overcome this situation. The objectives of the New Curriculum have been designed to enable the pupil population to develop their competencies by way of new knowledge through exploration based on their existing knowledge. A perfectly new vision in the teachers’ role is essential for this task. In place of the existing teacher-centred method, a pupil-centred method based on activities and competencies is expected from this new educa- tional process in which teachers should be prepared to face challenges.

  • Youth Policy for the Northern Province of Sri Lanka
    Youth Policy Programme Sabaragamuwa Province Stakeholder Consultation Sri Lanka Post-Brief 2016 UNFPA SRI LANKA Over the last four decades the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in Sri Lanka has been working with the Government of Sri Lanka on sexual and reproductive health and rights of women and young people. With Sri Lanka recently emerging as a middle income country, UNFPA is shifting its focus from capacity building and service delivery to addressing the four key youth issues in Sri Lanka through policy dialogue, policy advice and policy advocacy. There are a number of challenges that hinder young people in grabbing the opportunities that they need. These include: 1. Cultural and social barriers 2. Limitations in access to Comprehensive Reproductive Health Education 3. Limitations in accessing Reproductive Health Services for young people 4. Lack of an enabling environment to recognize the youth potential Why invest in youth? A safe and successful passage from adolescence into adulthood is the right of every person. This right can only be fulfilled if families and societies make focused investments and provide opportunities to ensure that adolescents and youth progressively develop the knowledge, skills and resilience needed for a healthy, productive and fulfilling life. This is more relevant to Sri Lanka now than ever before. UNFPA SRI LANKA YOUTH PROGRAMME UNFPA Sri Lanka’s Youth Programme is a holistic programme, which looks at youth at the center of development through a national and provincial lens; in the areas of youth-led policy making, policy implementation, youth leadership and Comprehensive Reproductive Health Education (CRHE). Youth Policy Programme: Provincial-level youth policies UNFPA Sri Lanka is convinced that with almost a quarter of the population being young, strong youth policies should be in place both at the national and provincial level.

Both CounCils were dissolved approximately Fourteen months before their respeCtive terms oF oFfice would have expired at the end of five years From the date oF election in terms oF Article 154E oF the Constitution. In the ordinary Course oF things, the North Central Provincial CounCil would have ended its term on 11th August 2009, and the Sabaragamuwa Provincial CounCil on 09th August 2009. While the ProClamations do not set out reasons For the dissolutions, media reports quoting the ChieF Minister oF the North Central Province seem to suggest that the dissolution in respeCt oF that ProvinCe at least was because the Board oF Ministers had lost the support oF the majority oF members oF the Council.

The Chief Minister oF the North Central Province has been quoted in the media as stating that administration proving diFficult in the absenCe oF a majority, it was decided that the Governor be advised to dissolve the CounCil, so that the people would have an opportunity at the resulting eleCtion to give a Fresh mandate.
