The Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) recently signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with the Wayamba University of Sri Lanka (WUSL) and the University of Jaffna Sri Lanka (UOJ) to formalize collaborative efforts to improve financial literacy among undergraduates. The MoUs were signed respectively with the Vice Chancellor of Wayamba University, Senior Prof. Udith K. Jayasinghe, and the Vice Chancellor of Jaffna University, Prof. S. Srisatkunarajah, at their respective University premises. 

Both collaborations are to promote capital market education among undergraduates by working together on several mutually beneficial strategic initiatives. 

Accordingly, the initiative would offer practical educational training and internship opportunities for students of both universities who are engaged in accountancy and finance, business management, and economics related degree programmes with the CSE.

Further, under the terms of the MoU, the CSE will grant an award to the student from WUSL and UOJ who obtains the highest value in the Grade Point Average (“GPA”) in the Financial Management Specialization Programme.

WUSL and UOJ will also collaborate with the ongoing educational initiatives of the CSE, the Advanced Diploma in Financial Markets (ADFM), as well as future educational activities, by providing the required expertise and resource persons to the seminars and workshops organized by the CSE for investors around the country in promoting the capital 
market investments.
