Our Story
The gap between the Sri Lankan state school education system and the IT industry is growing wider and wider day by day. In order to bridge this gap, a national policy has been made to integrate ICT education to school education curriculum since the year 2006.
But the Sri Lanka govenment has only been able to cover 50% of the school around the country with ICT facilities where as the rest are compelled to learn ICT using printed textbooks.
