Dr. Janagan introduces innovative step to uplift Sri Lanka’s education landscape post COVID-19
The global lockdown of education institutions is going to cause a major (and likely unequal) interruption in students’ learning. As the COVID19 pandemic is a health crisis, Sri Lanka has (rightly) decided to close schools, colleges and universities.
Home schooling is not only a massive shock to children’s productivity but also to children’s social life and learning. One of a main concern is the economic issues that are rising along with this online education, where it is getting worse when it comes to a country such as Sri Lanka.
With the vision of ‘providing education where it matters’, IDM Nations Campus Chairman Dr. V. Janagan initiated an innovative education approach by launching a free online university, where students can fulfil their higher education achievement on a par with international standards that meets the future employment requirement.
This online university has been launched as Vj-campus Online, where students can enrol for free via web and experience worldclass higher education, which is awarded by the UK and various other international awarding bodies, recognised locally and globally.
“This new initiation is for whom to dreaming to be an achiever but the economy is their obstacle,” mentioned Dr. Janagan, where he needs to uplift Sri Lankan knowledge society disregard to differences in income.
Furthermore, he mentioned that the recent pandemic made a paradigm shift in employment, where it shifts procedurecentric operations to trust-based operations, where employees need to be aware of social science. This approach provides diverse opportunities to learner in developing their social and leadership abilities. More information can be obtained at www.uni.vj.lk.
