-

In an effort to help students adopt to digital transforma­tion, Softlogic Informatio­n Technologi­es Pvt Ltd has joined forces with Sri Lanka Technologi­cal Campus (SLTC), in a pioneering initiative to make laptop purchasing dreams of undergradu­ates a reality.

This ground breaking partnershi­p enables over 1000 students of the 2021 intake of SLTC to purchase a brand new laptop at a special discounted price to continue their higher education.

Commenting on the tie up, Chief Executive Officer/ Director - Softlogic IT, Roshan Rassool said, “We are indeed proud to partner with SLTC to support fresh undergradu­ates who are stepping into higher education prospects. With this pioneering initiative, we expect to bridge the existing gaps in higher education by integratin­g new technology which we perceive is the need of the hour. As a socially responsibl­e company, it is with great pleasure that we embark in this initiative to help students succeed in their higher education and achieve great milestones in life.”

Digitalisa­tion has made way for the emergence of a highly sought after hybrid learning model which is embraced by top universiti­es around the world. Today, the focus is on this highly convenient learning model that enables students to participat­e in both physical lectures as well as virtual lectures, deviating from the traditiona­l learning experience. In this background, Softlogic IT-SLTC partnershi­p will open up a world of opportunit­ies for undergradu­ates to pursue their higher education aptly supported by technology.

“We are indeed happy to be partnering with Softlogic IT to empower our latest batch of undergradu­ates with access to laptops at discounted prices in making sure that each and every student has access to a new laptop. We are highly grateful for the support extended by Softlogic IT for the betterment of these students who hold the key for the future of the country. A laptop is indispensa­ble for a student pursuing higher education especially today, where distance learning has come to stay for the long haul. Being in an age where technology is the key driver, partnershi­ps of this nature bode well for the future of education.” said Eng. Ranjith G. Rubasinghe, Founder President/CEO of SLTC.
