Higher Diploma in Education (UK)

Dharul Hikma Institute is priviledged to offer The Diploma in Education & Higher Diploma in Education. This is in fact the need of the hour, a much felt requirement by the Sri Lankan teaching community. The ever growing scarcity for teachers in Sri Lanka, demands a recognised qualification.

After GCE OL or AL becoming a teacher will just occupy them and fill the gap. But without a professional qualification and a training, the future minds are in disorder. To fill this vacuum we at Dharul Hikma was ever willing to train teachers irrespective of where they will offer their services, thus giving the benefit for the students of our country to enhance the learning potential. We are glad to note our trained teachers are now placed locally and abroad spreading our services beyond boundaries.
