SPC OBU Helping to Improve Academic Excellence at St. Peter's.

One of the areas that Dr. Nielhaan Samaranayake wanted to focus on when he took over the Presidency of the SPC OBU, was the development of "academics" in college.  

The Academic Foundation was Chaired by Prof Rohan Jayasekera last year, and Prof., in consultation with Nielhaan, embarked on the training of teachers, which was identified as a key requirement for the enhancement of academic standards at college. Fr. Rector and the tutorial staff were offered a choice of development programs, and after many discussions and presentations, chose 2 specific areas, namely, English Language education, and "Microsoft Office" education.

In the current year, the Chairmanship of the Academic foundation has taken over by Mr. Chanaka Goonawardane and Chanaka has secured an English language course, conducted by the University of Colombo, which will train a 100 teachers at college. The Colombo Uni has already conducted an evaluation of the teachers and has tailored a course to accommodate 4 batches, catering to the various competence levels of the English language.

This training program will commence this month, February 2013.

On conclusion of this program, the Academic foundation will look at conducting the Microsoft program.
