Economic Civic Education: Phase IV (Monitoring)

Monitoring & Lessons Learned

As part of Arutha’s core mission of advancing economic knowledge and literacy among Sri Lankans, Arutha has been engaging closely with the Tea Leaf Trust to deliver economic civic education to TLT’s students, teachers and administrators.

Under this initiative, Arutha successfully completed the following,

1) 'Economics for everyone' training workshops - Arutha conducted 2-day in-person training sessions for 50 of TLT’s principals, teachers and trainee teachers.

2) Developed a economic civic education curriculum - Arutha co-created an economic civic education curriculum with TLT to increase the economic knowledge and literacy of TLT students.

3) Teacher training workshops - Arutha conducted a 2.5 day in-person teacher training workshop for 10 TLT educators to prepare for the roll-out of the new curriculum at TLT centres. These educators were principals, senior teachers and teacher trainers representing each of the 6 TLT centres in Bogawanthalawa, Thawalantenne, Ragala, Maskeliya, Nanu Oya and Amba Estate. 

To ensure the successful implementation of the newly developed curriculum at TLT centres, Arutha will be conducting continuous observation visits and refresher training workshops to TLT educators from all 6 centres.
