Calculating the GPA in countries that don't use the GPA system.

I know it sounds absurd but what do you do if you are in a country that doesn't use the GPS system? The education system here is very shit.

For context, I'm in Sri Lanka, you have one exam that you write at 16, which everyone in the country should write with nine subjects. And it's relatively easy after that you have the exam that you do under a selected stream, either physical sciences, biology, commerce and in that you dive deep into the subjects and it's a national exam, which is very very hard, and you get selected to local universities based on the results of that.

The problem is that the exam is in the middle of nowhere. It's beyond the normal international high school standards it makes you specialise a lot in those subjects and basically I'd say it is the equivalent of the first year of a university.

So if anyone has experienced an issue like this or knows what must be done in this situation, to calculate the GPA or apply with the results of that exam separately and not have a GPA.

Thank you in advance.

So many different private universities handing out degrees

Is it me or is there a huge exponential increase in the number of private universities, not the well-known mainstream ones but different, different universities which are unheard of, small universities everywhere handing out degrees to anyone who is willing to pay the money. I highly doubt there is any proper standard in the degrees handed out by these universities.

Not the usual workshops, tutoring kids, but actual things that could give good impact on society.

Something that is not done, but they desperately needs maybe education about certain topics, breaking down taboos and things like that. Anything that has not been done but we need more of

Papare event coverage, let it be a school big match or rugby match or whatever, almost all the photos posted on Instagram start with a picture of a girl, and there are few other pictures actually related to the event. More than 80% of the pictures posted are pictures of girls.

What's wrong with them is that they know exactly what they are doing, and I'm pretty sure these photos are taken without consent by photographers and posted on Instagram.
