RCOBANA funded the entire spoken English program and also made a
contribution of $4000 for the continuation of it next year. During the
nine months that ensued since the inaugural program in June last year,
40 scholarship students needing extra attention in English were chosen
out of a total of 154 who joined the ranks of Royal to continue their
secondary education.
The program, the course modules and the guidance was steered by the
Cosmopolitan Learning Academy CEO/ Directress Santhani Weerawarna with
personal attention. |
