SLIIT, with the aim of boosting learning ability and making a�?learning and studya��A�an overall exciting experience, have conducted over 25 workshops for Advance Level StudentsA�Island wide. The school workshop series is a comprehensive yet a�?fun filleda�� event which has beenA�held over the past 03 years. Rathnavali Balika Vidyalaya Gampaha, Sujatha Balika Vidyalaya,A�Matara, Dharmaraja College, Kandy, Anula Vidyalaya, Nugegoda are some of the schools whichA�SLIIT has worked with in the recent past.
Explaining the rationale of the workshop,A�Dr. Theekshana Suraweera, founder of theA�a�?Edutainment Unlimiteda�� school workshop series noted, a�?With a rise in academic pressure and anA�increase in competition for university admissions, our secondary school students, especiallyA�children in the GCE (Advanced Level) classes are under severe stress and anxiety. This could beA�attributed to poor study skills, lack of knowledge on stress management and an unclear view onA�career path ways. Therefore, as a part of our corporate social responsibility initiative, we designedA�a workshop to address factors such as learning and study skills, confidence building, stress reliefA�and relaxation exercise and study/career options after A/Levelsa�?.
Mind mapping, time management, forgetting curve and a range of fulfilled activities toA�enhance team work and creativity are some of the items presented in the workshops. This full dayA�bilingual workshop which accommodates around 250 children is conducted free of charge as aA�CSR project ofA�SLIITA�to secondary school students.
a�?The feedback we have received from principals, teachers and the student who participatedA�have been very positive. We hope to organize more workshops which will not only help studentsA�excel within the classroom but also help them succeed in their place of work,a�? noted ProfessorA�Lalith Gamage, President/CEO, SLIIT.
