The announcement was made at a special event ‘Cambridge in Sri Lanka: Leading the Future’ in Colombo, attended by Cambridge’s global and South Asian leadership, alongside prominent figures from the country’s education sector. Their presence underscored the organisation’s view of Sri Lanka as a key part of its wider regional strategy, and the new legal entity is expected to strengthen collaboration with schools and partners while aligning local education priorities with global standards.

Cambridge South Asia Managing Director Arun Rajamani said, “This milestone event marks Cambridge’s commitment to delivering high-quality teaching, learning, and assessment in Sri Lanka, with a strong focus on building a robust learning ecosystem that empowers learners to succeed both locally and internationally.”

Cambridge International Education Group Managing Director Rod Smith said that Sri Lanka held a special place within Cambridge’s South Asian network, where 60-80 of the country’s schools were part of its global community of 10,000 institutions.

“Our determination, here in Sri Lanka, is to build this community even bigger... not because it’s Cambridge but because as a community we can do a lot more together.”
