Public Learn to launch digital education platform

Digital education platform publiclearn.lk will be launched by President Ranil Wickremesinghe on July 13, 2024, at the Presidential Secretariat, enabling Sri Lankans to find free courses and achieve their educational and professional goals via digital means.

Public Learn is a one-stop shop, signposting users to free courses from some of the world’s leading universities. 
The platform has been put together by Regent Global; its joint CEOs, Tharshiny Pankaj and Dr. Selva Pankaj, were born in Sri Lanka and spent their early years in the country before leaving for the UK during the civil war.

Public Learn democratises learning by inducting hundreds, if not thousands, of formal outside-in education courses on almost any subject. Outside-in education is the process of acquiring new knowledge. 

Public Learn also gives Sri Lankans access to several courses that offer inside-out education, which is about growing as a person, developing the character, attitude and mindset needed to succeed in life. 

Former Secretary of State for Education UK Sir Gavin Williamson will address the gathering virtually.
