A/Level
classes for 2015 starts…. Be quick for your admissions!!!
This is
one of the latest advertisements we see in newspaper. O/level exam was finished
and mostly students are getting into the A/levels. As an unwritten law students select the same subjects
that are followed by their elders. But they have the opportunity to select the
subjects from different streams, for an example a commerce stream person can
choose Mathematics as a subject in his/her A/level subject. Normally Arts
stream people have more choices rather than the other streams. But still
nowadays people are not ready to go beyond the traditional subjects. Always around
within a small circle. Tamil, Hindu culture, logic, economics, fine arts,
geography and etc.. I’m not criticizing for their selections but now the
Government introduces Media studies and Information Technology as main subjects
in A/levels. Think!!! How many of us aware of it? Who are ready to study?
Specially
I’m focusing on Jaffna students. Most of the students have some barriers to
choose their subjects for their A/level. Just they blindly follow what their
elders and neighbors did. Media studies and IT have more opportunities in Job
market. There are plenty of media in Srilanka
and they are waiting for the youngsters . Normally the media studies are
developing your knowledge related to various field and improve your leadership
skills. IT is the dominator in Job market now, as everyone knows. If a person
selects IT as a subject definitely he/she will have the powerful opportunity to
get into the job market.
Students
have more opportunities to do their degree program in these fields and shape up
your knowledge well. Media field makes you fit
in the International Market.
Media
studies in Jaffna
Only 4/5
schools in Jaffna offer Media studies as a subject in A/level. Therefore
students have limited facilities to choose this subject. Actually government
should appoint the proper teachers for this subject in schools. But students
also want the eagerness to select this subject .At that time students and
parents should speak about this matter to the proper officers.
So guys…
Hope you started to THINK…
