Kegalu Vidyalaya IT

Kegalu Vidyalaya, being a national school of Sri Lanka, is located in the district of Kegalle. Known famous for active student involvement in IT, Kegalu Vidyalaya has secured a foremost rank in quality IT education within the country. In 2010, Kegalu Vidyalaya was able to host the first ever large-scale IT Day program conducted by any organization outside the capital of the country. Titled "Beyond IT" this IT day program was considered the IT identity of Kegalu Vidyalya in spreading IT Knowledge.

IT education has been prevailing in KV since the 1970s. There had been several IT societies in the history of Kegalu Vidyalaya over the decades, promoting IT education at the school level. “Vidyalions’ IT Society” being the latest of them was formed in 2010 which in contrast extended its objective for promoting IT education at regional level. “Beyond IT 2010” was a step taken by VITS to achieve this target.

As a student society, VITS has faced the challenge of finding new talent in the face of more experienced ones completing schooling each year. Though this trend has resulted in fluctuations of performance of VITS, it has paved way for the minds nourished by VITS towards flexibility.

Its notesworthy to mention here that though student involvement in IT of KV exists at a high level, underperformance in IT has been continued by some of the teaching staff and administrative staff.

I myself as an alumnus of KV, I believe that Kegalu Vidyalaya IT has to go a long way. And Im sure most alumni will be looking forward to support if (when) they (we) will be requested.
