The Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka (SEC) in collaboration with the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) hosted several impactful teacher training programmes for teachers of the established 100 Capital Market Clubs across 
the country. 
These teacher training programmes were conducted in all three languages from the 13th March to 4th of April at teacher training centers across the nine provinces 
of country.
The ‘Capital Market Club’ programme is a strategic initiative designed in collaboration with the Presidential Secretariat and the Ministry of Education as well, aimed at fostering financial literacy throughout the education system of Sri Lanka.

The teacher training programmes work as the initial step towards equipping the teachers overseeing the hundred capital market clubs with the crucial knowledge necessary to impart on students, so they may emerge as informed investors. The teachers were given a complete workshop, educating them on the regulatory environment, the stock market, the range of available capital market products as well as 
unit trusts.
