7500 teachers to be trained in robotics & AI


The Cabinet has approved the proposal to launch a program to provide training for 7500 teachers on robotics and artificial technology.

The Government of Sri Lanka has identified digital transformation as a vitally important component in the national education policy framework. It has also been encouraged to obtain the support of the public and private sectors to utilize artificial intelligence and new technologies. 

As such, a pilot project was carried out successfully based on the proposal presented by the Skills College of Technology (SCOT CAMPUS), an institution experienced in conducting practical courses on information technology, mechatronics, and robotics.

Accordingly, the Cabinet of Ministers has approved the joint proposal presented by the President, in his capacity as a Minister of Technology and Minister of Education, to train 7500 teachers selected from schools covering all the provinces.

The teachers are to be trained relevant to the STEAM concept, including information technology, biotechnology, engineering technology, and mathematics, under three stages by the SCOT CAMPUS.
