4 FOREWORD Technical and vocational education has always been an important component of UNESCO s consecutive Medium Term Plans. The basic objective of this programme is to support the efforts of Member States to link education systems more closely to the world of work and to promote the expansion and improvement of technical and vocational education in the light of changing employment needs. The Colombo Plan Staff College for Technician Education (CPSC) also dedicates itself primarily to enhancing the growth and development of the technician education systems in its member countries which are located in the Asia and Pacific region. Its programmes, projects, and activities are geared to provide the needed impetus for the professional development of senior level personnel involved in technician education development efforts. UNESCO has launched an International Project on Technical and Vocational Education (UNEVOC) as of 1992 in co-operation with the Government of Germany, ILO, FAO, UNDP and NGOs interested in the reform of technical and vocational education. This project focuses on exchanging information, research and experiences on policy and programme issues in technical and vocational through a network of co-operating institutions In a spirit of co-operation between UNESCO and CPSC, under UNEVOC, an attempt is being made to compile and publish studies on the development of technical and vocational education in Member States in the form of TVE profiles of 21 countries. It is hoped that this series will serve as a handy reference information on TVE systems, staff development, technical co-operation and information networking. These studies have been possible because of the full co-operation to UNESCO PROAP and CPSC by all concerned in the Member States. The opinions expressed in this study are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the position of UNESCO and CPSC in this regard. This profile on Sri Lanka was prepared by. Prof. Young-Hwi Lee, Seconded Faculty Member by the Government of Korea C.K. Basu Director, CPSC Victor Ordonez Director, UNESCO PROAP

5 Part I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction to Sri Lanka Sri Lanka is an island state located at 880 km north of the equator off the southern tip of India and the size of the land is 65,606 square km. The population of Sri Lanka was 17.2 million with a population growth rate of 1.3 per cent as of The temperature in the low-lands averages between and the annual island wide over-all rainfall averages vary from 1,020 to 3,840 mm. The economy of the country is still mainly dependent on agriculture and rice is the main food crop in which Sri Lanka is self-sufficient. The main commodities the country exports are tea, rubber, coconut, cocoa, caster and spices. Sri Lanka also exports minerals, precious and semi-precious stones and a fair amount of marine products. The estimated annual per capita income in 1992 was US$ 520. There are three major ethnic groups in Sri Lanka: Sinhalese (74.1 per cent), Tamil (18.1 per cent), Muslims (7.1 per cent) and others (0.8 per cent). The major religions of the people are Buddhism (69 per cent), Hinduism (15 per cent), Christianity (8 per cent) and Islam (8 per cent). Singhala and Tamil language are used among the ethnic groups and English language is wildly spoken throughout Sri Lanka except in remote villages. Sri Lanka was called as Ceylon during the time of 250 years of British rule and it became independent in 1948 and the name of the country was changed to Sri Lanka in Structure of Education A. General Education Schools are divided into four segments: primary (year 1-5); junior secondary (year 6-8), senior secondary (year 9-1 1) and collegiate (year 12 and 13). Students take GCE-O level examination after year 11 which determines the entry into the final two (2) years of collegiate programmes and after which they take GCE-A level examination. Admission to universities is based on the aggregate marks of GCE-A level examination. There are substantial drop-out rates at both senior secondary and collegiate levels. While 86 per cent of students make transition from primary to junior secondary schools, only about 70 per cent of students continue from junior to senior secondary. At the same time the repetition rates are very high with about 40 per

About 40 per cent of students pass GCE-O level examination after year 11 and they are qualified to obtain admission to collegiate programmes which is year 12 and 13. As of 1991, there were a total of 4,135,114 students attending government schools and 2,075,942 (49.8 per cent) were male students and 2,059,172 (50.2 per cent) were female students.

University Education There are eleven universities in Sri Lanka and they offer a full range of degrees and professional training. Entry is restricted only to 8,900 students who were selected out of 19,340 applicants in the 1991/1992 academic year. There were a total of 42,455 students who have qualified for university education in the same academic year. Although the student enrollment at universities is rather low with the restriction of entry into universities, the supply of art graduates exceed demand. However, since there is still a strong social demand for university education, the Government is responding to the demand allowing moderate increase in total intake boosting the number of intakes in science and technology based courses such as medicine and engineering. 3

8 Technical and vocational education: Sri Lanka 1.3 Economic and Human Resource Development Policies and Strategies Sri Lanka s economy is still very much dependent on agriculture, but with the liberalization of trade and the adoption of open market economic policy, Sri Lanka has been gradually developing various manufacturing industries. Up until now, there has not been much demand for highly skilled craftsmen, technicians and engineers because of the structure of the industries, which require mainly semi-skilled and low-skilled manpower. So far the problem in Sri Lanka has been more of a problem of providing employment opportunities to those entering labor force than a problem of finding trained skilled manpower for its industries. But, since Sri Lanka is moving toward becoming a newly industrializing country in the coming years, it is expected that Sri Lankan industries will also require highly skilled craftsmen, technicians and engineers as well as semi-skilled or low-skilled manpower. Sri Lankan government is, therefore, currently gearing up its vocational technical education and training systems, structures and programmes to meet the future socio-economic needs of the country with the promulgation of Tertiary and Vocational Education Act of 1990 and with the establishment of the Tertiary and Vocational Education Commission (TVEC) and the National Apprentice and Industrial Training Authority (NAITA) to upgrade the Vocational and Technical Education and Training functions and activities quantitatively and qualitatively.

9 Part II TECHNICAL-VOCATIONAL EDUCATION: TRAINING SYSTEMS, PROGRAMMES AND STATISTICS 2.1 Technical-Vocational Education Systems and Programmes There are a total of twenty-six technical colleges and five affiliated technical units which are directly under the control of Ministry of Higher Education. These technical colleges and affiliated technical units offer courses at Higher National Diploma (HND), National Diploma (ND), National Certificate (NC) and National Craft (Trade) Certificate (NCC) level and various short-term operative skills training courses ranging from a minimum of six months to a maximum of four years in engineering, business, economics, commerce, agriculture, and public administration disciplines, on part-time and full-time basis. Higher National Diploma courses last three to four years and applicants must have GCE-A level qualification. National Diploma courses usually lasts two to three years and also require GCE-A level qualification to enter the courses. National Certificate courses in business studies usually last two years and require GCE-O level qualification for admission. The National Certificate in engineering craft studies courses last one to two years depending on the trades and students need to have either nine or ten years of schooling. Some trades require GCE-O level qualification for entry in the course. It must be noted that the HND programmes are post-tertiary level courses which are nearly equivalent to university degree programmes although they are offered at technical colleges together with NC and NCC programmes. In 1992, there were a total of 18,068 students enrolled at various levels of technical-vocational education programmes and courses in technical colleges. Please refer to Table 2 for stream-wise; level-wise student enrollment statistics at technical colleges.

12 Part Ill TVET ADMINISTRATIVE AND RELATED FUNCTIONS AND ACTIVITIES 3.1 TVET Planning and Co-ordinating Authorities In Sri Lanka, there are a variety of TVET programmes and courses provided by governmental, non-governmental and private institutes and organizations including technical colleges under the Ministry of Higher Education, To plan, develop, organize, provide and co-ordinate these TVET courses and programmes, Sri Lanka has introduced the Tertiary and Vocational Education Act No. 20 in Under the provision of the Act, Sri Lankan government established two major governmental organizations to oversee the vocational education and training affairs of the school learners and the workforce of the country, the Tertiary and Vocational Education Commission (TVEC) and the National Apprentice and Industrial Training Authority (NAITA). NIATA is the successor of the previously existing National Apprenticeship Board (NAB) whereas the TVEC is a newly created organization. The roles and functions of the TVEC and the NAITA are rather complementary since TVEC is to plan, develop and co-ordinate the component of vocational education while NAITA is to plan, organize and provide apprenticeship for students, employed and unemployed youths and adults. The TVEC has the following three standing committees to effectively discharge its functions: a) Registration and inspection b) Administration and finance c) Provincial councils The NAITA has six provincial offices and three vocational training institutes under its wing to discharge its mission objectives. Both the TVEC and the NAITA are under the umbrella of the Office of the Minister of Human Resource Mobilization of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. Under the provision of the Tertiary and Vocational Education Act, an employer can take in trainees for the purpose of giving them initial training on the basis that such training is imparted to meet the criteria as laid down on training orders specified by NAITA in respect of various training occupations and all employers intending to take in trainees must keep NAITA informed of the number and nature of vacancies available for the purpose of engaging trainees. The Act also specifies that all contracts entered into by such employers with trainees have to be registered with NAITA. NAITA is empowered to specify the maximum number of contracts that can be entered into in respect of each occupation after having considered the availability of employment opportunities in each enterprise or firm. 8

The college also designs, evaluates and revises technical education and training curricula and resource materials for use by technical colleges. Upon request, the NTTTC also organizes and conducts vocational teacher and instructor training programmes for organizations outside the Ministry of Higher Education. The Maintenance Unit of the NTTTC serves the needs of the technical education system as a whole and is to take charge of the maintenance of equipment and machinery used in the technical colleges and other affiliated units. 11

19 Part V CONCLUSION Present TVET Situations and Future Challenges of Sri Lankan TVET It seems that there are more than enough formal and non-formal vocational and technical education and training opportunities in Sri Lanka and it is not much of a problem of getting or providing vocational and technical education and training opportunities as providing jobs or employment opportunities for people is a much more serious problem presently. Since most industries prefer getting apprentices and workers with only some general education rather than employing trained skilled people due to the nature of the jobs and occupations that require only unskilled and semi-skilled people who can become skilled in a short period of time through work experience or on-the job training. It, therefore, seems that people who have formal, semi-formal or non-formal vocational education and training are rather handicapped in finding jobs where they can use their vocational-technical skills and knowledge. With a high rate of unemployment, which is 14.1 per cent or 820,000 as of 1st quarter of 1992, and an annual potential labor force increase of about 150,000, Sri Lanka needs to create more jobs or employment opportunities by expanding its volume of economy and industrial activities continuously. Although it may be a burden for the time being for Sri Lanka, the human resources of the country may someday become a precious asset once the economy is expanded and the demand for manpower grows as long as the people are properly educated and trained so that they can become productive. It, therefore, is the time for Sri Lanka to prepare for the training and development of high quality skilled craftsmen and technicians as well as engineers and technologists for all sectors of industries by establishing a co-operative and collaborative TVET system and programmes whereby technical colleges and vocational institutes can closely co-operate and collaborate with industries to bring maximum human resource training and development efficiency and effectiveness and to meet the future industrial manpower demand in the coming future. In this respect it, can be said that the establishment of TVEC and NAITA was well orchestrated timely strategic movement of the Sri Lankan government for the continuous development and improvement of Sri Lankan TVET. 15

20 Technical and vocational education: Sri Lanka It is now considered very necessary for Sri Lanka to establish a National Centre or Institute for Technical Education and Vocational Training that can take care of comprehensive roles and functions for the upgrading of the quality of Sri Lankan TVET such as (1) TVET staff training and development, (2) TVET policy, systems, programmes and technology research and development, and (3) TVET hardware, curricula and teaching-learning software development. This can be done just simply by restructuring and expanding the present National Technical Teacher Training College so that it can serve not only for the technical colleges and technical education but also all other vocational training functions and institutes outside of the Ministry of Higher Education. 16
