The main objective of the scheme is to equip its staff to discharge
duties adhering to the Government language policy.
Under this scheme, over 200 officers in all categories of CBSL are
now undergoing training conducted by DOL.
These officers are required to undergo 108 hours of training
(lessons) before they sit for the written and oral examination conducted
by the DOL.
At the classes, priority has been given to improve the speaking and
writing knowledge (skills) of the participants.
Many employees of the Central Bank, irrespective of their classes and
grades of employment, have shown a keen interest in participating in
these classes.
The Central Bank believes that this program will be helpful for
officers to discharge their duties relating to development activities in
North and East more effectively, to build the ethnic harmony in the
country and eliminate language difference of the Tamil and Sinhala
communities. |
