SL students to gain opportunity to receive education under Western Australian system of education

International Institute of Health Sciences (IIHS), the leading provider of health education in Sri Lanka, has entered into an agreement with the Western Australian Government to establish the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) in Sri Lanka for the first time in its history.

It was signed by the CEO of IIHS, Dr. Kithsiri Edirisinghe, on behalf of the institute and The School Curriculum and Standard Authority’s Patrick Garnett, on behalf of the Western Australian Government. Affiliated to IIHS, ISWA International School (www.iswa.edu.lk) is established in Welisara, in order to launch WACE education system in Sri Lanka. Through this, Sri Lankan students will have the opportunity to receive education under the Western Australian system of education.

WACE education system gives an added advantage to students seeking to pursue higher education in Australia. Students who complete WACE will have access to higher education in Australia without IELTS and will receive priority upon entrance. Priority will also be given to students who wish to seek employment in Australia and obtain Australian citizenship after completing their education.
