Wait And Think!!!

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…
