    About Vocational Education in Sri Lanka

    Vocational Education in Sri Lanka was neglected for many years. Traditional forms of education which are academically oriented have been the focus of emphasis. It’s only in the 70s when the enormity of the youth and unemployment problem came to light that educationists and the nation took cognisance of the vast potential there is for the development of Vocational Education in Sri Lanka and the need to meet the demands of young people who are anxious to educate themselves for careers which are remunerative and nationally productive.

    The Board of Governors of Ladies’ College Colombo, Sri Lanka decided in 1981 to expand the facilities at Ladies’ College to include an institute exclusively for Vocational Education for students from all parts of Sri Lanka.

    By extending and expanding the avenues of modern education to include Vocational Education, Ladies’ College led the way in promoting education with a view to national development.


    History of the Institute of Professional Studies

    The Institute of Professional Studies (IPS) formerly known as the Department of Vocational Studies celebrated 35 years of service in 2016. The IPS has a separate Board of Management which deals with issues related solely to the Institute like the appointment of staff, finance related matters and introducing courses. Day-to-day administration is carried out by a team of staff members headed by the Chief Operating Officer who reports to the College Principal. One of the primary objectives was to serve the community and to provide skilled and trained personnel for the development of Sri Lanka and as such the courses were geared towards achieving this goal.

    An active social consciousness nourished over the years was channeled into an institution that served both the school and community and provided for social equity – thus the IPS was born. It arose out of a need to cater to students who did not wish to study at the Universities. It also catered to a need in the wider community and society at large – equipping young people with the necessary skills to function effectively in their workplaces. This idea gained further momentum with the help of a scholarship fund for those in need.

    The IPS is an institute within Ladies’ College where major decisions regarding both the school and the institute are decided by the Church Missionary Society (CMS) Governing body for Educational Institutions.
