Right now, I am 32 years old and pursuing a career in science.

English language competency is found to be a significant predictor for them to become successful in a Sri Lankan university. The survey has also made several other important observations. First, there are no equally distributed infrastructure facilities to learn English for all students in Sri Lanka. As a result, students who are less competent in English face a number of obstacles when learning and performing at university examinations. Second, students’ poor knowledge of English hinders their participation in group discussions, projects and academic presentations. Therefore, the study concludes that it is necessary to identify students who are less competent in English carly during the undergraduate period and conduct a formal English training programme for such students for at least a few months prior to entering universities, A survey has revealed that (1).... . in the English language is an important factor that determines the success of a university student, According to the (2).. sessssisss Of the survey, students with poor English language proficiency encounter various (3)... .. during ‘their examinations in the university.

New laws are introduced to protect under-aged children from potential exploitation. Therefore, an_ amendment to the labour law of 1956 is introduced to add twenty more occupations to the list ‘of work considered dangerous to children. As a result, Sri Lanka regards fifty-one work areas as dangerous for children. Doerr sesousse + Those surveys reported important findings. The first finding is that many children were in paid and unpaid jobs, helping parents in cultivation and family businesses. Among them, most children work in paid jobs while a minority is in unpaid and dangerous forms of child labour, The second finding shows that these working children had attended school although they worked. Surprisingly, 80% of working children had attended school in 2008 compared with 30% in 2016. The other survey finding indicates a drop in schooling among working ‘children, and it was due to the long wait for GCE, Ordinary Level examination results, During this time, children find jobs and lose interest in further studies. @ In addition, the latest survey results reveal the impact of COVID19 on children, According to them, the continuous lockdowns imposed in the last two years because of the COVID9 pandemic have had a devastating impact on some families ‘As a result, parents of low-income families have tured to their children to earn their fanaily income, pushing children to give up education. Also, the non-accessibility to online classes and lack of data coverage in many parts of rural Sri Lanka have frustrated children who then give up education, ® However, specific legal practices have been imposed in Sri Lanka, and they hhave led to reducing child labour. There is a particular legal age a child can work according to the law. In January 2021, the legal age a child can work was increased from 14 years to 16 years, This extension has reduced the mumber of children working, Tn addition, mandatory education up to year 13 in schools has also contributed to the drop in the number of children working. ® Tronically, the year 2021 has been declared as “Eradication of Child Labour” by the United Nations (UN).
