FUTA stage protest....
December 9, 2014
The Federation of University Teachers’ Association (FUTA) staged a protest in front of the University Grants Commission (UGC) based on several demands including the allocation of 6% from the per capita income for the education sector, preserving university autonomy and establishing good governance in the universities. Lecturers also launched a token strike in universities across the island today (Dec 9) over these issues. (Pic by Sanjeewa Lasantha)
