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.

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.
