  • 5/5 Epun D. 1 year ago on Google
    It's great pleasure to be a student in grade 13B1 of Science Section of Maliyadeva College. There are well-experienced teachers to support the students in their work and they are provided with many facilities. Because of these specifics, the education of our college is very much suitable for today. As well as the education the disciplinary is also a very important fact that is highly regarded in our college. So the every student is well disciplined. On account of these reasons, an environment which is very much appropriate for the education is naturally created around our college. As well according to the new educational reforms the students have given priority in their work through this "Student Centered Educational System" they can gather a lot of experiences. However through this kind of education our college was able to make some great students locally and internationally.
