The ‘Empowering Sri Lanka’s Government Schools for a Sustainable Future’ workshop series has recently kicked off at the Kadawatha Central College, spearheaded by Motivational and Leadership Development Expert, Suranga Tennakoon. The series aims to address the lack of resources and funding that many government schools in Sri Lanka face, hindering students’ opportunities and the country’s progress towards achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Despite the progress made in recent years in education and poverty reduction, Sri Lanka’s education system still faces significant challenges, particularly in providing quality education for all. Through his company’s CSR vision of “Empowering Sri Lanka’s Government Schools for a Sustainable Future,” Tennakoon has committed to allocating at least 3% of his annual profit to social responsibility initiatives, with a focus on meeting the UN’s 17 sustainable goals.
Education is one of the key areas that Tennakoon is focusing on. He believes that quality education plays a crucial role in achieving the SDGs, and has therefore pledged to support government schools in Sri Lanka through various initiatives.
This includes developing students’ and teachers’ leadership abilities and soft skills, training them to meet new global trends, and investing in the training of teachers. He will also work out strategies for helping government schools in Sri Lanka, such as providing funding for infrastructure improvements like building new classrooms or upgrading existing facilities.
Tennakoon hopes that these efforts will make a real difference in the lives of students attending government schools, creating a brighter future for them and for Sri Lanka as a whole.
His commitment to social responsibility and the SDGs serves as an example for other individuals and businesses to follow, demonstrating that everyone has a role to play in creating a more sustainable and equitable world.
In conclusion, the ‘Empowering Sri Lanka’s Government Schools for a Sustainable Future’ workshop series is a critical step towards achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals in Sri Lanka.
