Explaining the rationale of the workshop, Dr. Theekshana Suraweera, founder of the ‘Edutainmen­t Unlimited’ school workshop series noted, “With a rise in academic pressure and an increase in competitio­n for university admissions, our secondary school students, especially children in the GCE (Advanced Level) classes are under severe stress and anxiety. This could be attributed to poor study skills, lack of knowledge on stress management and an unclear view on career path ways. Therefore, as a part of our corporate social responsibi­lity initiative, we designed a workshop to address factors such as learning and study skills, confidence building, stress relief and relaxation exercise and study/career options after A/Levels”.
