Govt. Ready to Accept Mahasangha’s Solution to SAITM Issue

Minister of Higher Education and Highways Minister Lakshman Kiriella said that GMOA clinging on to the position that SAITM should be abolished. Hence, it would be futile exercise  if it came in for discussion. He further said, framing education policy was the duty and responsibility of the government rather than doctors or undergraduates.
Both parties to a dispute should change extreme positions and come to a central point in order to resolve it.

In the meantime, Mahasangha has proposed an acceptable solution and it is hoped that the GMOA will be flexible enough to agree to the proposal to find a final solution, Higher Education and Highways Minister Lakshman Kiriella concluded.
