Non-State Higher Education: Opportunities and Challenges
![Page 45: Going Global 2016: Sri Lanka: reconciliation, reconstruction and inclusion](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042610/58a6b8181a28ab661f8b5509/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• The absence of a National Qualification Framework with pathways between the various types of HEIs, programmes and courses
• The large proportion of students (nearly 60%) enrolled in External Degree Programs (EDPs) with minimal academic support;
• Inadequate Quality Assurance mechanisms for the entire public and private HE sectors
![Page 46: Going Global 2016: Sri Lanka: reconciliation, reconstruction and inclusion](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042610/58a6b8181a28ab661f8b5509/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• Weak research and knowledge linkages between HEIs and the industrial and service sectors of the economy;
• Small and weak segment of short–technical and job oriented HEIs, which constitute a healthy alternative to universities in many countries which have built a successful HE system, responsive to the needs of the economy
