Message from academic lecture facilitators

It is a matter of great pleasure and privilege to be part of the project of sharing knowledge with teachers in India and Sri Lanka. I am sure that the deliberations shared by the most experienced intellects in the field of education would be of immense help. I hope the endeavour of exchanging ideas and knowledge between India and Sri Lanka will be a great success and will also provide a vibrant forum for sharing knowledge with fellow educators.

All lectures are conducted free of charge. All educators may join the sessions live or watch the recorded videos later to enhance their competencies for professional development. We encourage all educators to engage with every presentation and make the most of this valuable opportunity to strengthen their knowledge with international expertise.

Participants who wish to earn certificates, medals, awards, or other professional qualifications must complete all assessment and evaluation requirements by successfully fulfilling the assigned tasks.

When teachers/educators from government schools in Sri Lanka follow these lecture series, if their school principals or senior officers agree to act as the supervisors and assessors for their staff members, those government teachers/educators can complete the assessment process. However, they must still submit the application form, and the supervisor must submit the continuous assessment sheet.

Many educators wish to follow the lecture series and obtain certificates. Since they are located across different geographical regions of the world, technological integration becomes a powerful and convenient tool for easy access. Therefore, the Sri Lanka Education Management System has been adopted for the assessment and evaluation process. By using your username and password, you can log in to the ERP system and access all assessments, question papers, and learning materials required to qualify for international certificates and other professional benefits.

If educators wish to submit assignments through the digital platform and learn with the support and guidance of the Education Management System (EMS), it is recommended that they obtain access to the EMS.

If you would like to use the SL Education Management System for quality improvement, please submit your details through: https://www.iafqe.org/ems.
