Children at the Kosgolla Maha Vidyalaya in Badulla district were the first beneficiaries of an IT skills development project launched by the Commercial Bank of Ceylon in partnership with the Mother Sri Lanka programme of the Presidential Secretariat, the bank said in a statement this week.
The CSR Trust of the bank donated computers and related equipment to establish an IT lab at this school. Maintenance support for the lab will be provided by the Bank’s IT team. Two schools in the Anuradhapura district, a school each in the Puttalam and Kurunegala districts, two schools in the Jaffna peninsula, two schools in the Vavuniya district and three schools in the Central Province have been selected for this project.
The Commercial Bank of Ceylon will fund the project while the selection of schools and coordination will be the responsibility of the Mother Sri Lanka programme.
