For a person graduating from an internationally recognised institution not only enhances their prospects but also widens their perspectives in life as they experience new cultures, broaden their views and gain global exposure.
Playing a vital role in the avenue here in Sri Lanka is the Jeewa Education Group who has elevated numerous lives of young aspiring individuals who seek to pursue their education goals abroad. From selecting the right university and programme to handling visa applications, the company makes sure that students who seek their services smoothly transition into their new milestones with continuous support throughout their academic journey.
Jeewa Education Group Business Development Manager Lakshani Aponsu recently sat down with the Daily Mirror to discuss how the organization continues to transform the educational landscape for Sri Lankan students seeking opportunities overseas.
Following are the excerpts
of the discussion:
Give us a brief overview
about Jeewa Education Group?
Jeewa Education Group is a leading
education consultancy in Sri Lanka dedicated to supporting students who aspire to achieve their international academic goals. Established in 2003, we as a consultancy bring nearly 20 years of expertise to the education field. Our partnerships extend to top universities across Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Canada offering local students convenient access to world-class education. In Sri Lanka, we
operate four branches in Panadura, Battaramulla, Kandy and Matara. Additionally, we have three onshore offices in Australia located in Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth to provide continuous support to students throughout their academic journey.
Can you walk me through
the process of how you guide a student who wants to study abroad?
As an education consultancy, we offer comprehensive education and career counselling services to any student seeking our expertise. The consultation process begins by assisting each student in selecting the most suitable country and university based on their interests and qualifications. Afterwards, we handle the entire admission and visa application process until we secure the official offer letter from the selected overseas university for the student.
This entire service procedure, including both admission and visa consultations, is provided completely free of charge for the student. As mentioned earlier, our goal is to make sure that our students meet both academic and financial requirements while we guide them through each step of their educational journey.
What is your success rates of students securing their visas
through your services?
We proudly maintain a 99% visa success rate as we thoroughly assess each student’s academic and financial standing before submitting university applications. If a student meets the necessary requirements, we are quite confident in securing both admission and the visa.
However, some students may face
challenges such as not meeting the minimum English language proficiency standards. To address this, we offer personalized IELTS and
PTE training classes which are designed to
help students improve their language skills and meet the required proficiency levels for their studies abroad.
We have received several accolades over the years for our services, including the Emerging Excellence Award 2024 from the University of Canberra, the Gold Agent 2024 from Griffith University and the Partner of the Year Award 2023 under the Diamond category awarded by the University of Adelaide.
Moroevore, our performance has been recognized by high profile institutions such as the Queensland University of Technology, Victoria University, Swinburne University and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology where we have bagged awards such as the Gold Agent, Platinum representative, Gold Partner status and the most innovative coordinator.
We mentioned having three onshore offices in Australia. What is the
purpose of those offices?
We have established onshore offices in Australia to offer continuous support to students after they begin their academic life in the country. These offices are designed to assist students with various needs as they adjust into their new environment. This is particularly targeted at younger students or those studying abroad for the first time, as they may face challenges living alone or adjusting to a new country.
Whether it’s addressing personal concerns, helping students find suitable accommodation or offering guidance on academic matters, our onshore teams are there to provide support.
Tell us about the Australian
Roadshow event you’re organizing.
Our Australian Education Roadshow is an annual event, which we’ve been hosting since 2017. This year the roadshow will take place in three key cities Galle, Kandy and Colombo, on September the 27th, 28th, and 29th, respectively. The event will be held from 12 PM to 5 PM at prominent venues such as the Lighthouse Hotel in Galle, Queen’s Hotel in Kandy and the Galle Face Hotel in Colombo. Over 30 Australian universities will participate in the roadshow to offer students personalised sessions to learn about academic programmes, scholarships and other university-specific details. At the event local students will have the opportunity to meet representatives from the Australian universities and inquire about specific programmes, scholarships, accommodation and the campus life. So it will be a fantastic opportunity for prospective students to engage with university representatives directly and gather all the necessary information they need to plan their study journey. The roadshow will be a one-day event in each city and we expect more than 1,000 students to attend the event.
