Higher education is the single most important contributor to success in life. Higher education leads to better careers and higher earnings. Numerous studies have demonstrated again and again that graduates earn several times more than non-graduates in a lifetime. Not surprisingly, millions of students all over the world pursue higher studies. It has been estimated that there will be 150 million students in higher education by the year 2010. In Sri Lanka too a large number of students aspire to university education. Unfortunately, opportunities for higher education in Sri Lanka are very limited. Less than 3% of students enroll in university education in Sri Lanka whereas the enrolment rate in most developed countries exceeds 50%.
