Global Education leader Burlington English invests in SL

Burlington English, a global leader in English language learning and assessment, for over 40 years, leveraging its success across India and South Asia, has expanded into the Sri Lankan market.

Through its high-quality language resources powered by cutting-edge technology and exemplary service, the company is poised to raise the English proficiency levels of educators and learners nationwide.

Burlington English’s entry into the Sri Lankan market is a strategic move to enhance the nation’s educational framework, helping students achieve their academic and career goals.

The company offers a comprehensive blended learning approach through advanced print and digital resources, as well as accurate, adaptive assessments, creating a personalised learning experience for each individual. Burlington English also empowers educators through its capacity-building workshops and webinars to equip them with the latest pedagogical techniques.

In the next five years, the organisation aims to partner with 50,000 educators and 500,000 learners in Sri Lanka, playing a vital role in strengthening English proficiency across the nation.

Managing Director of Burlington English India & Southeast Asia, Amit Baveja, stated, “We are confident that our innovative programmes and high-quality resources will help equip the next generation of Sri Lankan learners with the skills needed for success, both academically and professionally.”

“We are eager to partner with local institutions and build a thriving educational ecosystem that enables individuals to achieve their full potential and contribute to the progress of the nation.”

In Sri Lanka, almost 25% of the country’s population can speak English, indicating a strong foundation for English language proficiency in Sri Lanka.

“This existing strength, coupled with a growing desire for global opportunities presents a unique opportunity for Sri Lanka’s youth to drive growth, advance their careers, and contribute to a more prosperous future.”

Burlington English’s recent engagement in Colombo saw key stakeholders from the educational sector coming together to discuss the future of English language education in Sri Lanka.

An interactive teacher training workshop led by their world-renowned trainer, Andrew Steele, provided hands-on opportunities for educators to explore innovative teaching techniques and tools for creating engaging learning experiences in the classroom.
