To maintain high standards of educational conduct it is essential to uplift the knowledge and skills of our Teachers. This aspiration came into light recently when The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (ICASL) conducted an successful seminar for teachers in the Western Province under the seminar series ‘Guru Nena’ as part of the Institute’s corporate responsibility

This seminar was held specifically to discuss the new Accountancy syllabus which is to be applied in the near future for schools. The basic components of this new syllabus, the background knowledge of the new concepts and a thorough explanation on the technique of extracting this new knowledge to the minds of the student were carefully articulated at this seminar. J.D Hemachandra Provincial Director for Education in the Western Province and Nishan Fernando President of ICASL graced the occasion; the seminar was conducted by three eminent speakers G.A Dayananda and Anil Fernando both who are Senior Lecturers of the Department of Accounting and Financial Management at the University of Sri Jayawardenapura. T. Dharmarajah a council member of the Institute and Chairman of Student Promotions Committee. These lecturers explained in depth the global accounting knowledge which is of vital importance for our student and provided the teachers in detail of how to contribute towards the creation of an intellectual student.
