BOC Ran Kekulu “Hapana” program series reached its 1130th seminar at Matugama Ananda Shasthralaya on 3rd July 2016. The 1129th program was concluded on 2nd July 2016 in Katana Dutugemunu Vidyalaya. All these programs are conducted completely free of charge for children who sit for the grade 5 scholarship examination this year and there is no necessity to be a BOC account holder.

“BOC Hapana” is a dedicated program that has been an immense support to children who face the grade 5 scholarship examination. It has been going on for sixteen years since 2000. The bank has obtained the service of a very experienced panel of teachers and instructors throughout these years to conduct this well structured series of seminars which has contributed immensely for the success of the program. Having been conducted in both Sinhala and Tamil language that will be delivered on request, “Hapana” has coached over 680,000 children throughout the country.

Although the main focus is given for the discussion of mock examination papers, the program also gives instruc- tions for students to follow at any given examination to obtain exemplary results. It also discusses about effective studying methods, goal setting and timing. The Bank organizes around 80 scholarship coaching programs annually covering every province including North and East. The program is co-sponsored by Ceylon Biscuits (Munchee) and Camillus publications.
