NDB was felicitated with the Gold Social Impact Award for “Best Education Program” at the 7th ACEF Asian Leadership Awards by the Asian Customer Engagement Forum (ACEF) in Mumbai.
The Award was won for the Bank’s CSR Project “English for Teaching Plus” where NDB joined hands with the British Council to contribute towards enhancing the teaching skills of Secondary English Language Teachers of Government Schools in Sri Lanka.
Proficiency in English is a critical element in the Economic progress of our nation. Teachers play a fundamental role in a student’s education and the quality of teaching has a great influence in a student’s academic progress. As a responsible corporate citizen, NDB strives to make a meaningful contribution to the society through activities that uplift and empower the future of our country. Therefore Education is one of the key strategic focal points around which the Bank has structured its sustainability activities. High Proficiency in English is essential for socio-economic development in Sri Lanka. Hence the key objective of this project was to improve the teacher’s knowledge as well as teaching methodology thereby equipping them to provide high quality English language teaching. This in turn will contribute to improve the standard of English teaching and learning in Sri Lanka with the ultimate goal of raising the employment profile of school leavers joining the workforce.
