Private Universities in Sri Lanka
Non-state universities in Sri Lanka could help meet excess demand for tertiary education and positively contribute to national development. There is already excess demand that the government alone cannot meet due to budget limitations. Failing to meet this demand could lead to adverse effects like brain drain as students go abroad and skills are underutilized if students cannot get education. Non-state universities could help by creating more opportunities for education, saving foreign exchange, and increasing quality of education overall in Sri Lanka.

The document provides a historical overview of New Year's Day traditions. It explains that prior to 1582, many cultures celebrated the new year starting on March 25 and ending on April 1. The months' names also indicate they were originally the 7th through 10th months of the Roman calendar. Pope Gregory XIII established January 1st as the standardized New Year's date in 1582. As a result, those who continued the older tradition became known as "fools," giving rise to the April Fools' Day tradition. The document encourages celebrating every day as a new beginning rather than focusing on public celebrations.

Kathy Booth: The Ones That Got Away [Oct. 2014]
This document discusses the evolving definition of success in education and workforce development. Traditionally, success meant completing a degree program. However, research shows that certificates, short-term training, and some coursework provide significant earnings gains for students, especially in technical fields. While colleges offer workforce programs, conversations still focus on the traditional degree. The research presented found community college workforce training had strong returns, with non-completers in some cases earning more than completers. Success metrics need to account for factors like field of study, credential type, and student characteristics to fully capture impacts. Badges may help measure skills gains from short-term programs.

The document concludes with a "college leaders' manifesto" calling for leadership beyond traditional institutions.

- 6. Flexibility • The work world is changing at a hectic pace, and rarely does a person stay working for one company or even in one occupation anymore. Education gives you greater flexibility in changing careers.
- 7. Experiences • Higher education not only gives you skills, it can give you first-hand experience. It also allows you to meet new people and make new friends who can serve as career connections in the future. And alumni networks help as well.
