“…Due to the scarcity of teachers, students would be compelled to enrol in private classes for core subjects such as Mathematics, Science, and Technology. Liyanage [35] having found that inadequate distribution of qualified teachers, as well as a shortage of teachers, for some critical subjects like Mathematics, Science, and Technology, being major issues faced by some areas in Sri Lanka is an indication that teacher availability could also be a potential determinant of student school attendance. His opinion, that there would be a surge of enrolment into the Advanced Level after the Sri Lankan government's declaration that students without a pass in Mathematics may enrol themselves in the Arts stream, reflects the importance of teacher availability and quality of teaching in determining the education demand by the students.…”

Free education for all in Sri Lanka has enabled significant improvements in educational performance and living standards. However, there are still some issues unresolved; one being the difficulties in accessing education facilities in the townships, owing to mobility constraints. Students residing in plantation areas, for instance, become inconvenienced when public bus services are absent or unreliable.The present research quantitatively examined the significance of SLTB bus service availability, inter-alia, in determining the school attendance rate of students residing in remote estate areas. The Haputale Education Division was examined as a case study. Results indicated that, among factors that could significantly affect the level of school attendance of estate children, the availability of SLTB service on estate routes would be very crucial; a significant increase in attendance being realisable if SLTB’s scheduled school bus trips operated with greater reliability. The importance of affordable mobility services for school attendance in remote areas, is thus examined.The study enabled inference that the policy priority should be assigned to further strengthen and expand bus services. This intervention is likely to be more beneficial than focusing on other apparently influential determinants. However, the generalisability of these findings to other estate areas and geographically remote localities of the country needs to be confirmed through further research.

“…The national education system can be segregated into five main categories: primary, junior secondary, senior secondary, collegiate (higher education) and tertiary. Sri Lanka enjoys a remarkable progress, in terms of basic education indicators compared to many other developing countries in the world (Liyanage, 2014). By 1964, Sri Lanka has achieved the goal of universal primary education.…”

“…16 universities, 7 postgraduate institutions, 10 additional higher education institutions, and 1138 technical and vocational training institutions make up Sri Lanka's tertiary education system. There are state institutions (Liyanage, 2014). University education can be regarded as the succeeding level in the learning process of a student.…”

Paradigm shift is a significant modification of the core assumptions and methods of experimentation in a scientific discipline. The field of education, at all levels, has undergone tremendous change recently, precipitated by extraordinary demand for high quality and meaningful sustainable education at all levels across the globe. The national education system is segregated into five main categories: primary, junior secondary, senior secondary, collegiate (higher education) and tertiary. In Sri Lanka, basic and higher education levels are compulsory for students; however tertiary education is an optional level. Recent data show that just 20% of students who pass the GCE Advanced Level Test can be admitted into the government university system, leaving the remaining students with few options for higher education. The framework or for determining students' university choice based on their qualifications, talents, demand and supply characteristics, or their willingness to select an appropriate degree program is somewhat non-existent in Sri Lanka's existing educational system. To determine the steps that can be taken for a paradigm shift in higher education, this study aims to highlight the need for one in Sri Lankan post-secondary education while also proposing a relevant conceptual framework. The Marketing Mix Model for Higher Education, Hossler, Kotler and Fox, and the Integrated Complex Decision Model was the framework used to identify the demand pull and supply push factors affecting the university choice in Sri Lanka. Both qualitative and quantitative techniques were used. The study sample was drawn using stratified sampling technique and clustered into several sub-clusters such as state university, private university, technological campus and vocational Institute. Both descriptive and essential inferential statistics tools were used for the data analysis. This study identified the measures that can be used for a paradigm shift in the tertiary education.

Responsible Investment: Taxes and Paradoxes

Taxes have become an issue of corporate social responsibility (CSR), but the role of taxation is to some extent an ambiguous and controversial issue in the CSR framework. Similarly, another unclear question is what role investors who are committed to sustainable and responsible investment (SRI) see taxes as having on their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) agenda. Corporate taxes have an inverse relationship with the return of the investors: taxes paid directly affect what is left on the bottom line, reducing the return of investors. However, investors are now more aware of tax-related risks, which can include different forms of reputation risk. Corporate tax planning may increase the returns, but those increased returns are riskier. This study focuses particularly on the relationship between SRI and taxation. We find that tax matters are considered to be on the ESG agenda, but their role and significance in the ESG analysis is unclear.
