What is liberalvalues.lk?

Sri Lanka has had a profound public funded education system since post-independence era. However, the curriculum is primarily based on natural science subjects (STEM and more)and overlooks the branch of social science subjects such as psychology, international relations, development, law etc. at a secondary school level education system. In addition, most of the syllabi of Sri Lankan education system are not updated with the constantly changing global knowledge for several decades. Therefore, this project aims to narrow the knowledge gap among Sri Lankan citizens who has not been exposed to this globally popular social science idea – Liberalism. The objective of Liberalvalues.lk is to foster a clear and correct understanding of Liberalism among Sri Lankans and empower them as self-decision making, independent and empowered citizens.
