As education continues to evolve in an increasingly digital world, Sri Lankan digital learning platform ReadyMe is taking new approaches to learning directly to students, educators and parents. The platform recently held its first school-based educational session at Nalanda College, focused on supporting students preparing for their Ordinary Level (O/L) examinations.
Led by Pradeep Ranathungaarachchi, the session focused on the Sinhala subject. It explored how educator-led guidance and digital learning resources can complement traditional classroom teaching and help students approach their studies in new ways.
The initiative marks an important step in ReadyMe’s efforts to bring digital learning beyond the screen and into the schools where students learn every day. By engaging directly with schools and their communities, ReadyMe aims to show how technology can support more structured, accessible and engaging learning experiences for students preparing for important examinations.
For ReadyMe, the session represents more than an introduction to a digital platform. It reflects a broader vision of bringing the next stage of learning to the people who matter most: students, tutors and parents.
Commenting on the initiative, Seneli Jayasinghe, ReadyMe Team Representative, said: “At ReadyMe, we believe the future of education needs to be shaped with students,
tutors, and parents, not just for them. Building a digital learning platform is only one part of that journey. It is equally important to take these possibilities directly to schools, understand the challenges people face, and demonstrate how technology can make learning more structured and accessible. Our first session at Nalanda College is an important step in bringing that vision to life. We want to help students discover new ways to learn, support tutors in extending their teaching beyond the classroom, and help parents become more involved in their children’s learning journeys.”
Leading the Sinhala session, Pradeep Ranathungaarachchi highlighted how digital tools can support both students and educators as teaching and learning continue to evolve.
“Even a subject as familiar to us as our own language, Sinhala, can feel complex when students are preparing for examinations. The right guidance, teaching methods, and learning tools can help break difficult concepts into more manageable steps. Sessions like
this allow us to explore how digital resources can support students in understanding and practising what they learn. For tutors, the important thing is to see technology as an opportunity rather than a replacement. By working alongside digital learning platforms and adapting to new tools, we can strengthen our teaching, reach more students, and continue to play an essential role in their learning journeys.”
ReadyMe recognises that the future of education will require more than technology alone. Meaningful progress depends on bringing educators, students, parents and educational institutions into the conversation, understanding their needs, and showing how digital tools can complement established teaching methods.
Through continued engagement with schools and educational communities, ReadyMe aims to help students access more structured learning experiences, enable tutors to extend their guidance beyond the physical classroom, and give parents greater visibility into their children’s learning journeys.
The session at Nalanda College marks the beginning of this ongoing effort to bring digital learning closer to students and explore new ways of supporting their academic progress.
