Ethnic Representation, Regional Imbalance and University Admissions in Sri Lanka.

Gunawardena, Chandra

Comparative Education, v15 n3 p301-12 Oct 1979

Data are presented on the ethnic and regional origins of university students in Sri Lanka, 1942-1974, in relation to general population distribution and/or university course of study. Two attempts to equalize university admission are analyzed: weighting school quality to standardize secondary marks and establishing a district quota scheme. (SJL).
