Western Australia’s leading international educational services provider IIBT has announced that their Chairman Dr. Glenn Watkins will be in Sri Lanka on 25 April 2013 to kick-off a major road show aimed at showcasing the full suite of tertiary, academic and professional educational opportunities in Western Australia.

IIBT has been active in Sri Lanka since 1999 when they launched their executive education services. Talking to international media from his home base in Perth, Western Australia, Dr. Watkins said: “Sri Lanka, post the 30-year war, is now poised for an economic takeoff. As we have experienced in many other emerging nations, the structure and quality of tertiary and graduate education in a country is critical to high economic value addition.

“Sri Lanka, with an impressive literacy rate and widespread use of English in the main cities, can benefit immensely from a proven pathway program. IIBT, a leader in international pathway programs, brings the leanings it has from very successful operations in China, Indonesia and Vietnam.”

IIBT’s contact point for South Asia and the Middle East is Hilmy Cader, who has performed this role since 1997.

At IIBT, leading education practitioners and qualified industry experts deliver executive education and training face-to-face, providing real-life applications for studies accompanied by the highest level of industry insight and workplace knowledge.

IIBT’s focus is on encouraging students and prospective employees to explore, expand and enjoy education.
