A national “Train the Trainer” programme designed to build capacity for public awareness on Sri Lanka’s new education reforms and revised National Curriculum Framework has concluded at the South Asian Centre for Teacher Development in Meepe.

The two day intensive workshop brought together 75 elite trainers representing all provinces across the island. Key focus areas included the core objectives of the new educational reforms, the updated curriculum framework, administrative and physical resource development and school based assessment and certification systems.

The master trainers developed through this initiative will drive a phased awareness campaign targeting key educational stakeholders nationwide. The first phase, set for November 12 and 13, will deliver comprehensive briefings for zonal education office officials and school principals across all zonal offices. This will be followed by the second phase on November 19, where dedicated monthly teacher meetings at all schools will focus entirely on the new reform process. The third phase will run from November 30 to December 4, featuring islandwide parent awareness sessions structured over multiple days based on individual school enrollment sizes. (Eduwire)
