The Computer Society of Sri Lanka (CSSL) has embarked on a number of initiatives to uplift the standards of ICT literacy among Sri Lankans.
One such initiative is to provide necessary training on ICT skills for both students and teachers, who would be playing a key role in transforming Sri Lanka into an ICT hub in the region.
A Teacher Training on Java Language for ICT teachers was successfully concluded last September 2014 with the support of Deutsche Bank. The second batch of Teacher Training on Java Language for ICT teachers was initiated on 23rd February 2015. This training programme was organized by the Computer Society of Sri Lanka, with the Ministry of Education as the strategic partner, Deutsche Bank AG as the financial sponsor, and with ESOFT Metro Campus as the training and education partner.
