A protest will be held in Colombo on Thursday (24 Apr), organized by the Allied Health Sciences graduates and the Inter-University Students’ Federation (IUSF), demanding the abolition of unregulated institutions offering health-related degrees.
The organizers claim these so-called “degree shops” are putting lives at risk and harming the quality of the country’s healthcare system by producing unqualified graduates.
They further said that such institutions undermine the credibility of degrees awarded by state universities.
The protest aims to urge authorities to take strict action against unregulated private degree programs in the health sector.
Students and recent graduates from across the country are expected to take part in the demonstration. (Newswire)
