In another unprecedented, anti-democratic step, the Sri Lankan government will require all students entering universities to undergo instruction in military camps. Higher education ministry secretary Sunil Jayantha Navaratne told the Daily Mirror last week that a program had been discussed, with the support of defence ministry, to give students two weeks of “leadership training”.
Navaratne said students would be trained in “presentation skills, visionary thinking and conflict resolution skills”. In the name of leadership training, the government is seeking to brainwash students, above all in the supremacy of the military in all aspects of society.
The plan was first announced by Higher Education Minister S. B. Dissanayake on January 5. “They (students) will learn about waking up on time, working on time, how to study well, how to stand properly, how to use cutlery, how to eat properly, how to walk properly and how to talk properly and how to respect others,” he said.
