Research is the cornerstone at NIE. My team and I are indeed honored to be part of this faculty. In our role as facilitators to the NIE decision-makers, my team supports educational researchers through training in research methodology, securing research funding, managing research projects, and planning and delivering the research agenda of NIE. The faculty oversees the rigorous study in numerous multi-disciplinary subject areas of study on pedagogy and educational practice taking place in Sri Lanka and channels the findings to the key decision-makers and Policymakers.
