The British Council welcomes applications from suppliers with international higher education quality assurance expertise to deliver a capacity development initiative for private sector higher education providers in Sri Lanka.

The aim is to implement a Training of Trainers (ToT) programme that will look to strengthen quality assurance (QA) processes within Sri Lanka’s transnational education (TNE) sector.

Starting with awareness building, this programme will equip stakeholders with the knowledge and skills to implement consistent QA frameworks, ultimately enhancing the quality, compliance and reputation of Sri Lanka’s TNE sector.
