The Government should develop the Information Technology (IT) infrastructure to make Sri Lanka as an IT hub in the region, newly appointed Managing Director Sri Lanka Territory Corporate Office of Singapore Informatics (SI) Regu Ambalam, said.

“Sri Lanka has not seen the full potential yet. But it could do wonders in the field of IT if the IT infrastructure is in proper place, which could ensure IT is in every Sri Lankan’s mind,” Ambalam said.

Ambalam said they are willing to maintain discipline in the institute to provide complete education for their students.

Singapore Informatics will support the Government to train IT trainers and students to be equipped with IT knowledge to face global challenges. Singapore Informatics conducts degree programmes on IT and Business degrees which has a very high employability anywhere in the world, he said.

He said education is an important factor to impart IT knowledge in any country, which should be incorporated into the education system of the country, where SI could play a pivotal role to make an IT savvy society.

Ambalam wants to promote Singapore Informatics as one of the most preferred educational institutes in the IT sector.

It is also one of the few institutes offering online degrees.

They also work with several leading international universities in the world.

Ambalam said they work with a global network of employers to provide educational and employment opportunities to their students.
