HOPE IT Seminar

Information Technology is a newly introduced subject in the Sri Lankan GCE advanced level syllabus. Due to scarcity of trained teachers, many children find it very difficult to study the subject. As Leos we thought it is our duty to do our best for our younger brothers and sisters regarding this problem.

Our members went for various tuition centers and informed the students about the seminar. They displayed some notices in the notice boards of those institutes also. As there are many IT graduates and IT professional in our club itself, we planned to conduct the seminar using our resources. On the 22nd morning our members were came to tamil sanagam by 8.45 am. We were able to start the seminar by 9.30 am as there was some delay in the students’ attendance. As the GIT syllabus is very vast, selected only the key areas to give them an idea about the topics. We also provided them with some sample question and model answers. Then we also had a Q&A session in which our resource personals cleared the doubts of the students. We also prepared the tutorials by ourselves based on the Sri Lankan GCE advanced Level IT syllabus and issued them for the students free of charge.

This seminar helped the students to clarify their problems and get more knowledge on the subject areas. It was very much useful for them as it was conducted one week before their GIT exams. We are intending to continue doing this seminar in other areas of Colombo and also for GCE ordinary level students as well.
