Founder’s Message
There is, I presume, nothing pleasurable in the world than being a founder of the prestigious school that, within a decade of its coming to being , was able to produce well over one hundred doctors, engineers and other professionals, in the soil of Puttalam that remained overlooked for educational developments for ages.
People of Puttalam would bear witness that before the advent of the President’s Science College, even a student who was able to score Ten “A” passes in his or her G.C.E Ordinary Level Examination opted Arts or Commerce subjects for the G.C.E Advanced Level Examination in fear of lack of facilities to prefer Science subjects . A substantial number of student attend to schools in the faraway places such as Kalmunai where facilities were available to study science subject and that too did not bring a promising harvest for Puttalam.
I am proud to express that the President’s Science College is a harvest of the relentless hard work the team of people I had in my education committee when I was serving as the Deputy Minister of Livestock Development .
When the college was established in the abandoned and depilated hostel building of Puttalama Zahira College, Mr. Sirajudeen, the first ever principal of the college with a handful of students , and together with his devoted staff , happened to work hard to elevate the college as one of the popular schools in the country.
It is my strong conviction that this year too, the college would be able to send more and more students to the Universities to become doctors, engineers, graduate Teachers and other professions to the country.
I wish godspeed to the students, staff and the principal of the college.
K.A. Baiz.
Chairman,
Puttalam Urban Council
