Education Forum Sri Lanka is an independent platform with a mission to catalyze policy reforms in Sri Lanka. Monthly policy dialogues on local education issues and policy briefs and policy research papers emanating from those are our main outputs.  
More and more families got online as the pandemic progressed. Some never got online, widening the digital gap. Countries across the world are moving forward having learned from the pandemic. What can we learn from studies on Sri Lanka during the pandemic? Is Sri Lanka ready to provide continuity in education for all, if schools close for any reason in the future?  Do we have the capacity to move forward with the digital learning momentum gained from the pandemic?
