What began
as an initiative to increase the Srilankas IT and English language literacy
level through Udubaddawa Nisala Nenasala students and put the udubaddawa Nisala
nenasala in the Google map is today the North western province largest
gathering of ICT professionals, academia, knowledge Leaders and policy makers.
It is 2013 now. We are passing
the year of national information communication and English language. You
will be glad to know this initiative inaugurated by his Excellency, President
Mahinda Rajapaksha in two thousand nine. We are very happy that one of our genuine tasks has been fruitful
by this time. It took countable years to establish this Diploma in Computer
Application Course, KIDS IT course, Grade 5 Scholarships IT course, Web
designing Course, Graphic designing Course, Computer Hardware Course and Certificate
Course in English language. Here I would like to remind one of greatest saying
that is “Example is better than precept” because Udubaddawa Nisala Nenasala,
ICTA of Srilanka, Sarvodaya Fusion, resource pool of government school
principals and ourselves were able to empower the grass root level changing the
traditional teaching methods.
Especially through our distance education
learning centre network in Kurunegala and Puttlum districts we were able to
reach to each rural area with technology such as laptops, smart phones, Kindles
and internet access. That was a great chance to the students who followed this
English course and IT courses. Some times in the village areas we have found
that in the government schools they don’t have the IT & English teachers
for years. So students find it difficult
to study this subject. Actually in those cases as Nenasala we were able to fill
that short comings. So this teaching process has a strong empowerment. On the
other hand UDUBADDAWA NISALA NENASALA 2012 our students’ awards ceremony has
become more valuable. This awards ceremony is based on the academic year for
2012.
Several
new initiatives were introduced by the last academic year of 2012:
Ø Udubaddawa
Nisala nenasala had over 1500 students from 53 distance education learning centres
where situated at village level in Kurunrgala and Puttlum districts. We held two examinations as midterm and final
term.
Ø Final
term test was held at six government schools in Kurunegala and Puttlm district.
A pool of examiners from government schools supervise and examined that exam in
last 1st of December 2012.
Ø All the answer papers were
assisted by the English director of zonal education office kuliyapitiya.
Ø According to the average marks
the final result has been issued.
Ø 1577 students sat for both exams. Among
them 1421 were able to pass through
this achievement exams.600 students have been able to take “distinction pass”
and they have come today to take their valuable certificates. We have already held 6 regional certificate
award ceremonies in last two months at Dankotuwa, Nattandiya, Udubaddawa,
Pannala, Narangoda, Kuliyapitiya.
Ø First time in our
Nenasala education process 100 students have been selected as the best achieved
students for academic year 2012 of Udubaddawa Nisala Nenasala.
Ø Last
but not the least, a Knowledge workshop was held across several locations with
an objective to enhance computer literacy among school children in the
districts of Kuunegala and Puttlum. The best achieved students of toady have
already been enrolled for a free computer training programme.
In focus
over the past 5 years has evolved into the north western province’s largest ICT
and English exposition and has become a platform for the world to connect to
the Srilankan ICT industry.
Our vision
for Udubaddawa Nisala Nenasala 2013 is to make it even bigger and better, where
a confluence of divergent thoughts, ideas, nationalities will all come together
under one roof to make great things happen.
Finally we want all children, regardless of race, creed or
circumstance to achieve their full potential. Our task is to make it possible.
Our mission is to provide practical, step by step assistance.
