Launching of “Junior Achievement” (JA) initiated by the Policy Development Office along with the Ministry of Education is a revolutionary step forward towards breaking the conventional teaching style prevailing in the country. It is an initiative to build character in the young and give direction through a different yet more exciting educational technique.
The program holds a history of 100 years, originating from USA spread over 150? countries. The JA, or once popularly known as the Young Entrepreneur Sri Lanka (YESL) was active from 1998 to 2012. During this period, the YESL program expanded from 9 schools to almost 400 schools, reaching well over 35,000 students, island-wide. The JA program was endorsed by the Ministry of Education as an extra-curricular activity.
The launch of the JA 2019 in Sri Lanka is expected to reach an even bigger student population with its brand-new model and outlook. The program is localized to accommodate the requirements of the Sri Lankan market whilst still meeting international standards introducing customized strategies developed for primary, secondary and senior levels accordingly.
The JA pilot in Sri Lanka will be a model company program, a practical educational class where school children brainstorm a business idea, appoint a CEO and board of directors and run an actual business operation and liquidate the company and share the profit or loss during a school term – this is to get a simulation of starting and running a business. This is an extra-curricular activity done after school hours.”
