title : Conclusion
We feel that the University admission criteria is the most significant and important cause of the conflict in Sri Lanka. This is because for a country, we feel that education is the most important factor in becoming a successful country. Without education, the people will have a harder time finding jobs that have good pay or even being able to find a job will be hard. With the people of the country having such mediocre jobs as a source of income for themselves, the Tamil's socio economic status will eventually become stagnant and they are unable to climb up the social ladder as compared to the Sinhalese, who are given much more privileges and benefits. With a stagnant socio economic status, the Tamils' standard of living will be lowered and hence, their quality of life will be compromised. With such factors on the low, the Tamils' will eventually feel indignant as they are discriminated purely based on their race.
However, if compared to the cause of conflict - 'Citizenship rights' , which only affects the first generation of Tamils in Sri Lanka and not the subsequent generations which are born in Sri Lanka, the cause 'University admission criteria' has a greater significance in contributing to the conflict.
If compared to the cause 'Resettlement', which is not based on the factor, education, 'University admission criteria' is also more significant in contributing to the conflict in Sri Lanka.
Finally, if compared to the cause, 'Sinhala-only' policy which only affects the chances and opportunities to get jobs and promotions, the cause 'University admission criteria' is based on the root problem - education. Therefore, the 'University admission criteria' is also more significant in contributing to the conflict in Sri Lanka.
Hence, the cause 'University admission criteria' has the greatest significance in contributing to the conflict in Sri Lanka.
