The course has been designed for provincial political leaders, based on a concept by Basil Rajapaksa. The councilors have expressed their disappointment saying that they, as politicians, did not need to follow any course so far. The course fee is Rs.72,000. The institute has further mentioned in a letter that the fee is payable in 12 installments and they are able to assist to obtain a loan from a state bank, if need.
The institute highlights that this course has been designed using educational assessment methods suitable for adults and will not include traditional examination methods. They further mention that after completing this course, it is possible to continue upto degree level.
After seeing the letter sent by the institute, UPF urban councilors have mentioned that they do not need a diploma or a degree to collect votes. They have further said that they do not have adequate time to follow courses.
They emphasized that courses cannot create national leaders and it requires a proper party policy and party leaders must give opportunities for suitable persons.
