Director's Massage

It is indeed a great pleasure and privilege to give this message to you as the Director of Centre for Distance and Continuing Education (CDCE) of Rajarata University of Sri Lanka. Higher education is considered to be the engine of the development in the present knowledge based society. Hence more and more people aspire to gain higher education. The primary responsibility of the Universities today is to produce high quality knowledge product that can directly and indirectly transform the society into a better place for all of us. The Rajarata University of Sri Lanka is committed to its efforts in providing open and distance learning to the students who meet the basic entry requirements to enter the state universities but fail to gain admission mainly owing to lack of physical and human resources available in state universities. Moreover, the CDCE of Rajarata University of Sri Lanka is also conducting a number of Certificate and Diploma programs providing opportunities to those who wish to develop competent skills and gain career oriented qualifications. CDCE of Rajarata University of Sri Lanka is an independent administrative body established mainly to operationalize and coordinate the activities pertaining to the external degree programs and extension courses. It is important to note that guidelines provided by the University Grants Commission on quality assurance of external programs are adhered to in all its programs. I trust that our graduates/diploma and certificate holders will be able to change their career with newly acquired qualifications to meet the challengers in the 21st century. I am confident that CDCE is continuously growing and will expand as a fully-fledged center of distance and continuing education in Sri Lanka. I wish all the very best for the candidates enrolled at CDCE and hope they will be able to achieve their expected academic qualifications successfully.
