Students at the workshop hosted by Pearson

Pearson recently conducted a workshop for 50 Maldivian students who visited Sri Lanka as a part of their annual study tour program.

These students who follow Business Studies at CHSE Maldives received tips on effective exam techniques. In addition, the students received information on Pearson Edexcel’s suite of qualifications, including examination methodologies and progression opportunities. HRMI Veteran Corporate Trainer Gihan Talgodapitiya was also present at the workshop to conduct a brief training session on leadership skills for these students.

“At Pearson, we aim to equip all learners with the skills they need to excel in an evolving career marketplace. This workshop is just one of many activities that we conduct regularly for students,” said Regional Director – Asia Premila Paulraj.

Pearson firmly believes in the importance of cultivating leadership qualities beyond achieving academic excellence. Therefore, in addition to the regular qualification awareness programs and principals’ forums they organise, Pearson periodically holds leadership programs in order to encourage students to be well-rounded.

Pearson also regularly conducts teacher training sessions in order to ensure that their teachers are up to date with the latest educational trends. Annually, Pearson trains over 2,000 teachers on subject-specific training. The trainers include chief examiners in the UK, who are experts in the field of teacher training.

Currently, Pearson offers tailored qualifications for the Primary and Lower Secondary curriculum, as well as GCSE, International GCSE, GCE Advanced Level, International Advanced Level and BTEC, a vocational qualification.
