Minister Rajapakshe told that they had reached this decision following consultations with President Maithripala Sirisena.
He said accordingly, the basic qualifications of all SAITM students would be evaluated and only those students eligible would be permitted to complete their medical degree at the KDU.
“We have submitted the Cabinet proposal and it will be implemented upon Cabinet approval. The proposal will be taken up at next week’s Cabinet session,” he said.
While referring to the controversial proposed Kotelawala National Defence University (KNDU) Bill, Minister Rajapakshe said the KNDU Bill had no impact on the Cabinet proposal submitted.
Recently SAITM Students launched a protest march demanding KDU solution. IUSF "Anthare" state university students union demands government to withdraw proposed privatization bill.
