Education is the most valuable asset an individual can aquire within his lifetime. It is an asset valued since the beginning of civilization, an asset which if maintained properly will never depreciate in value, specially so in today’s knowledge based society.
Education beyond the school system is generally termed as ‘higher education’ or ‘tertiary education’. In most of the countries in the world ‘Higher Education’ is restricted to a few, yet realizing the value of ‘Higher Education’ in a country’s march towards development, many of the ‘Developed’ countries and ‘Developing’ countries have put a lot of emphasis on ‘Higher Education’ and has made it a point to absorb as many as possible school leavers in to continuing their higher studies; Sri Lanka being no exception.
The’ Educational Requirement’ at this stage of education is much more wider and much more rigorous than the education at the school level. This level of education is where a ‘Professional’ in any field is developed. Unfortunately not many education institutions, specially in the ‘Private’ sector do not seem to understand the ‘rigour’ required in mending a professional from a school leaver thus creating graduates who have to go through many hardships before they get established in their careers.
‘Singapore informatics’ being one of the pioneer ‘Private Higher Educational Institutions’ in Sri Lanka, is definitely one of the few institutions which do understand the requirements of producing a ’Highly Employable’ graduate. Singapore Informatics had made sure that their graduates are highly employable not just locally but globally. Established in Sri Lanka in 1994 Singapore Informatics has gone through 17 years of operation and 14 graduations. In these 14 graduations Singapore Informatics has produced more than 3,000 graduates, all of whom are ‘employed’ either locally in reputed firms or overseas. The institution in Sri Lanka is a fully owned subsidiary of ‘Informatics Education Ltd.’ in Singapore which was established in 1983. In its 29 years of operation, Informatics Education Ltd has produced more than 25,000 graduates across the globe. It currently operates a network of 65 centers across 20 countries in the world.
