SAITM abrogated ... SLIT graduation instead ... Final solution by government

An announcement released yesterday comments that SAITM private medical college will be invalidated and instead semi-degree students would be amalgamated to SLIT institute which grants International Technology degrees to graduates, thus affording an opportunity for them to carry on

with their education.

SLIT institute would be commencing 2 new institutes and on of them would be allocated for SAITM students who have completed a part of their medical education and once that last batch finishes their studies, that institute would be closed down. Apart from this, another medical institution would be installed to admit medical students in the year 2019 and that medical institution would be in force according to minimum criteria or standard, the government communique states. Both these two new institutions would not belong to the government and are non-profit organisations as well, it is reported.

A nine-member committee has forwarded this solution to solve the SAITM issue to implement the solution for the SAITM issue issued by the President on October 2017. Malambe SLIT institution has signed the relevant agreement in this connection yesterday.
