Message from the CEO

Insight Institute of Management and Technology is a not-for-profit social initiative dedicated to empowering people through education. Capacity building of people of all categories is one such effort.

Today the world is in economic turmoil, with not only businesses but countries as a whole going bankrupt. Changes are taking place in many areas faster than ever before. In short, the world is going through an economic tsunami.

It is in this turmoil that Insight has looked inwards into the society and found several gaps in the educational system. In Sri Lanka the poor employability of school leavers and graduates is a great burden to the country. Frustration is high among youth as they cannot unleash their potential. The corporate sector is finding it difficult to recruit people to suit their requirements: this is in a country which has the highest adult literacy rate in the region!

Insight therefore has developed unique programmes to reduce this gap. Not only the Vocational School, but every other section, whether it is the School of Primary and Early Childhood Education or the School of Social Sciences, a large number of professionals in each field have developed unique study programmes, often combined with hands-on experience.

We are sharing experiences with several local and foreign academic institutions and universities, in order to keep our study programmes current and up to date. Our strength is the commitment of our staff and the trust of our students, but we do not compete using this strength.

We complement existing initiatives and are ever ready to explore areas in education where others fear to tread.
