Why online works for Galle families

Galle town has some options, but most of the district doesn't. If a family in Elpitiya, Ambalangoda or Baddegama picks an in-person class in Galle, that means two trips on the Galle Road every session for three months. Online, there's no trip. For most of the district, that's what makes the programme possible at all.

The Faculty of Engineering the instructors graduated from is at Hapugala, inside Galle district. So local families can check the qualification behind the teaching for themselves.
