Empowering Sri Lankan youth to be globally competitive Royal College Union with many other prestigious establishments have organized EDEX 2009 - National higher education and careers Expo, which will be held from 23rd to 25th January at BMICH and on 27th and 28th January at Queens Hotel Kandy.

Addressing the media, Rizan Nazeer , Secretary, RCU noted that 131,000 students in our country are eligible to enter university. But only about 12,000 get the chance to enter university. He said the others who are left over are the beneficiaries of their attempts at EDEX. The youth in our country have so much potential, but with the inequalities in the education and employment sector, they have very limited opportunities for progress. They lack proper guidance and direction.
