LANKA NIPPON BIZ TECH INSTITUTE (LNBTI) LAUNCHES ITS FIRST DEGREE PROGRAMME APPROVED BY THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION
Lanka Nippon Biz Tech Institute (LNBTI) has been accredited as a degree awarding institute for its unique IT degree programme, BSc (Hons) Software Engineering, and the Degree launching ceremony and the Press Conference were successfully held on 24th August 2022 at Hilton Residencies (Jaic Hilton), Colombo. To grace this occasion, Mr. Koga Michio san – Chairman LNBTI, Mr. Dinesh Saparamadu – Deputy Chairman LNBTI, Prof. Ananda Kumara – President LNBTI, Mr. Ikura Kazuyuki san – Director LNBTI, Prof. Sampath Amaratunga – The Chairman UGC, Mr. Nihal Ranasinghe – Secretary, Ministry of Education, Mr. P Ranepura – Advisor LNBTI & Former Secretary, Ministry of Higher Education & Research, Dr. Manjula Sandirigama – Advisor LNBTI, Mr. Ravindra Perera – Director LNBTI, Dr. Thilak Chaminda – Head of Academic Affairs LNBTI, Mr. Dilshan Samarasekare – Director LNBTI, and Ms. Sameera Malawige – Head of Business Development & Partnerships LNBTI were present. LNBTI becomes Sri Lanka’s first and only Japanese Higher Education Institute to feature a Japanese job-oriented programme, approved by the Ministry of Education (MoE). Selecting the right institute for a student’s future goes beyond simple books and curriculum, and instead must be looked at as a training ground that pushes them to be drivers of change for a better tomorrow. Combining the hallmarks of Japanese culture with a carefully curated degree programme, studying at LNBTI ensures that students are equipped with the necessary skills and training to pursue rewarding career opportunities in the field of IT in Japan. LNBTI is the only Japanese higher education institute in South Asia to offer quality IT degree programmes with an arrangement of professional and permanent employment in the Japanese IT industry. The institute’s strong relationship with professional Japanese business counterparts owes in part to the synergies between its parent companies Metatechno Inc, Japan and hSenid Group of Companies, Sri Lanka. The same synergies have helped form strong relationships with reputed organizations in Japan and locally, many with Japanese origin. This in turn has created a network to supplement the various industrial internships offered in LNBTI’s degree programs; most of which inevitably retain graduates as part of their permanent cadre. LNBTI is the first to introduce this type of “study in Sri Lanka and work in Japan as an IT professional” model in Sri Lanka. As a highly developed nation, Japan has much to offer Sri Lankan students and professionals. As a country rich in age old history and tradition, the Japanese way of life imbibes a sense of discipline that is invaluable to a student’s personal and professional life. Immersive educational, cultural and Japanese language exposure at the LNBTI campus, ensures students are exposed to a greater worldview in addition to new ways of thinking and problem-solving. This not only helps them at the university level but also allows them to develop the skills and knowledge that contribute to their careers especially placements overseas and when pursuing careers in a multicultural and multinational environment. As an industry that demands the skills of critical thinkers, LNBTI’s BSc (Hons) Software Engineering programme promotes international collaboration which invites a host of opportunities for our nation’s youth. LNBTI’s strong partnerships with Japanese Universities & industry have helped facilitate knowledge sharing, student exchange, and international collaborative research projects which act as a catalyst for academic and scientific accomplishments. As a developing nation which is home to talented youngsters, LNBTI’s programmes act as a stepping stone to push Sri Lanka beyond its limitations in pursuit of a better future for all. ABOUT LANKA NIPPON BIZ TECH INSTITUTE (LNBTI) Established in 2016 as part of a joint venture between Metatechno Inc, Japan and hSenid Group of Companies, Lanka Nippon Biz Tech Institute (LNBTI) continues to set a benchmark in the field of IT study. Located in the heart of Maharagama, LNBTI is the only institute in South Asia to offer unique degree pathways in Software Engineering and Information Technology, combined with an authentic Japanese learning culture, aimed at a Japanese career opportunity. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN This will be the significant turning point in our long-term collaboration with the Sri Lankan education system to bring the two nations closer in all possible ways. I’m looking forward to seeing more and more young Sri Lankan graduates arrive in Japan and contribute to the development of the two economies through this programme in the coming years.

Prof. Ananda Kumara, the President of LNBTI was invited to the Prefects’ Induction Ceremony of Henegama Central College, Gampaha
The ceremony was held on 24th July, 2022 at Henegama Central College premises. Prof. Ananda Kumara, the President of LNBTI who has served his excellent service to Japan over 3 decades and who was also a proud old boy of Henegama Central College was invited as the Chief guest of the ceremony. This was the 78th Prefects’ Induction Ceremony of the school guided by the Principal Mr. Vijaya Sathyajith Kularathne. Professor Ananda Kumara, the Principal and the guests followed by the school western band was enlightened by the traditional dancers’ graceful movements. The Principal, the Chief Guests, the School Teachers, the School head prefects and their parents took part in this memorable occasion. The main objective of the ceremony was to hand over the school responsibilities to the newly appointed prefects. As future leaders the principal expects them to be proactive to look out for opportunities every single day in which they can practice being a leader, challenge their selves to take even greater initiative to serve their peers and the school, communicate effectively and confidently as they carry out their duty and take care of the school respect and pride to the next generation and by the time they leave the school, to grow admirably as a leader and to serve a larger community. Prof. Ananda Kumara’s speech followed by his experiences while he was in Japan for 39 years, and his childhood history at Henegama Central College and the services done by his family to the village students, and his stories about himself when he was studying at the University of Kelaniya as an Undergraduate student were truly inspired by the gathering. Also, during his speech, he especially delivered the reason he came back to Sri Lanka: to serve his motherland and make an ideal pathway for Sri Lankan students to win the world. So he explained how a student can get even greater opportunities in Japan through LNBTI. We LNBTI, congratulate all the prefects and expect more contributions and leadership in enhancing Sri Lankan values. To grace this occasion, the Principal Mr. Vijaya Sathyajith Kularathne, the teachers, the parents, and the students representing Henegama Central College and Prof. Ananda Kumara (President) and Ms. Sameera Malawige (Head of Business Development & Partnerships) representing LNBTI were present.

It is indeed a historic moment to witness a partnership between Lanka Nippon BizTech Institute (LNBTI) which is known to be the first & only Ministry of Education (MoE) & University Grant Commission (UGC) approved degree awarding Japanese higher education institute in Sri Lanka and Yoshida Shokanji International School which is built on Japanese cultural ethos. A memorandum of understanding was signed on 20th July 2022 at the Yoshida Shokanji International School Sapugaskanda premises at 9am between the above mentioned two entities which are built on strong Japanese foundation to develop students of YSIS with right skills set and knowledge to become successful IT professionals in Japan. Yoshida Shokanji International School is located in a picturesque, landscaped area in Sapugaskanda, Makola. Most Venerable Banagala Upatissa Nayake Thero, Chief Sangha Nayake of Japan, the President of Mahabodhi Society of Sri Lanka and Chairman Yoshida Shokanji International School Sapugaskanda which commenced its operations in the year 2000. The school now has more than 1200 pupils from Nursery to Advanced Level, teaching both National Curriculum as well as Cambridge Curriculum. Yoshida strives to mold the students to be responsible future citizens, while sharpening their skills and competence to reach greater heights, with ability to solve problems being free thinking, problem solvers and decision makers and to be active participants in the affairs of the society and yet, at the same time to be tolerant and honest in all spheres of activity they embark upon. Therefore, it is an excellent opportunity for students to make maximum use of this opening to graduate with a world recognized IT degree in Sri Lanka and join the lucrative Japanese IT industry upon successful graduation with a rewarding career. Furthermore, this will no doubt contribute to the development of both Japanese industries and Sri Lankan economy, while brightening students’ future. It is expected that not only a large amount of foreign currency flown out of the country for paying tuition and living expenses abroad for study can be saved within the country, but also this model will be able to bring ample amounts of foreign exchange through their remittance to the families and the loved ones after they go to Japan for work.
