Sri Lanka and India: ‘English for Employment’ project fast-tracked
The concept of anything being ‘fast-tracked’ should be enough to send shivers down the back of any self respecting language teacher. So, it’s with heavy heart that I report how fifty thousand school leavers could be targeted by a special project launched by the state in collaboration with the BoI and sections of the local corporate community for empowering these young persons with requisite English Language and IT skills in an effort to facilitate their entry into the job market and to ensure that they meet investors’ standards of employability, Enterprise Development and Investment Promotion Minister Dr. Sarath Amunugama said last week.
A Presidential Task Force for the dissemination of English Language and IT competence among the targeted segments of youngsters, headed by Presidential Advisor Sunimal Fernando, would be spearheading the project. What joy.
