Atlas Axillia to enhance standards for early childhood education

Atlas Axillia Co. (Pvt) Ltd. signs a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Ministry of Education to provide standardised professional training required for pre-school teachers in early childhood development. This proactive step aims to reshape the Sri Lankan education system by professionally training educators specialising in early childhood development, thereby creating future-ready youth for Sri Lanka.

The agreement was signed recently at the Ministry of Education in Battaramulla, signatories included P.C.K. Pirisyala, Additional Secretary (Primary Education Development), Prof. Prasad Setunga, Director General of the National Institute of Education, Achini Balapatabandige, Rukmali Kariyawasam, Asitha Samaraweera, Managing Director of Atlas Axillia and Iroshini Nadika, Head of Corporate Communications of Atlas Axillia.

Early childhood is where one learns the importance of facing challenges, including sociability, environmental consciousness, and acts of kindness and compassion. To ensure the proper development of children in their early years, it’s vital to have well-trained pre-school teachers. Therefore, Atlas’ initiative to spread awareness and create training programs across the island aims to empower both current pre-school teachers and those aspiring to enter the field.

Asitha Samaraweera, Managing Director of Atlas Axillia Co. (Pvt) Ltd., said, ‘Atlas has always been committed to ensuring that each student receives a holistic learning experience with Joyful engagement. By consistently seeking innovative approaches to education, our aim is to cultivate a better tomorrow for each student. Through our collaboration with the Ministry of Education, we aspire to extend our assistance to preschool teachers in need of guidance and to heighten their awareness of early childhood development.’
