Elaborating on the programme Dr. Virajith Gamage, Senior Lecturer (Higher Grade) of the School of Education, SLIIT Faculty of Humanities & Sciences said, “We understand that teaching is considered to be among the noblest of professions and our Guru Viru CSR programme aims to empower practitioners and improve their capacities through knowledge, skills, attitude and professional development.
