First time in the history, 21 students of Japura University medical faculty suspended classes who involved in a peaceful protest on Last Wednesday against Selling Medical Degrees.
Among the 21 students who were suspended are 19 second year students, third year and fourth year students and 2 para-medical students.
Medical Faculty Students’ Action Committee (MFSAC) charged that the suspension of the 21 students of the University was a result of the extreme politicisation prevailing in the state university system.
There hasn’t been any suspension of students for the period of 22 years since the Faculty of Medicine in the University was founded in 1991 until the present authorities carried out the sordid deed say students.
The Federation of University Teachers’ Association (FUTA) has said it would appear on behalf of the students as they have acted to preserve the medical degree for the future of Sri Lanka’s children.
The Medical students of Jayewardenepura University held a protest march and an agitation yesterday (5th) protesting against selling the medical degree and demanding the removal of 13 fee paying students admitted to the Faculty of Medicine.
The students commenced the protest march from Jayewardenepura University marched to Wijerama junction and engaged in an agitation.
The students complain that the medical degree has been sold for Rs.7.5 million under the new amendments to the Tertiary Education Bill and the 13 students have been admitted under this scheme to sell the medical degree.
