Colombo, Monday 14th March 2022. The Sri Lanka Singapore Business Council (SLSBC) of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce announced a free webinar for corporate decision makers, CSR foundation leaders, and private educational institutions. Titled “Private Sector Role in Enhancing K-12 Education in Sri Lanka”, the webinar will feature Dr. Harsha Alles (Chairman, Gateway Group, and Member, Presidential Task Force on Education Reform), Dr. Sujata Gamage (Senior Research Fellow at LIRNEasia), and Dr. Upali M. Sedere (State Secretary, Ministry of Education Reforms). The webinar will take place online via zoom from 2:30 pm to 3:45 pm on Wednesday 23rd March 2022.
Commenting on the webinar, SLSBC President Mr. Prajeeth Balasubramaniam said, “The SLSBC promotes bilateral trade between Sri Lanka and Singapore in different industry verticals. This free webinar, which falls under our Education vertical, aims to boost trade in private education services. Given Singapore’s leading position in K-12 education, Sri Lanka stands to benefit immensely from the transfer of knowledge and expertise from Singapore.”
The Chairman of the Education Subcommittee of SLSBC and the moderator of the webinar, Mr. Yukthi Gunasekera, stated, “This webinar is an exciting opportunity for Sri Lanka’s private sector to play a bigger role in enhancing K-12 education in the country. The 3 expert and eminent presenters/panelists will shed light on gap areas in the current education system that can be bridged by companies, CSR foundations, and education institutions in Sri Lanka and Singapore. We are expecting a full house.”
