The IGP Campus was initiated in the year 2023 by a team of like-minded academics & professionals whose corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative specifically included for the provision of tertiary & vocational education facilities for the less fortunate students who are in the category of school drop outs from Grade 8, failures of G. C. E. (O/L/) examinations and also failures and university qualified G. C. E. (A/L) students who were unable to secure the cut off marks to enter universities and whose parents could not afford to finance their overseas or local private university studies.

Someone may ask the question What is Education? For at IGP Campus Education is that Uncommon Thing Called Common Sense, a talent which abundantly available with the above unsuccessful students and which can be harnessed and developed though a capacity building program in the tertiary & vocational education sector, affording them highly paid, satisfying career and certified job opportunities in many trades locally and abroad.

Under the higher educational system in Sri Lanka, bachelor degrees in Arts, Science, Commerce and all other areas are offered under the purview of UGC (University Grants Commission) to maintain the uniformity and the recognition irrespective of the university or the offering body.

This process is well established in Sri Lanka for Academic Education. As a matter of fact, Academic Education is not for vocational or professional purposes, but for research and respective higher studies. Unfortunately, Academic Educational opportunities are limited to the maximum of 10%-15% of students who are successfully completing A/L exams.

In A/L examination, over 200,000 students and in O/L examination over 100,000 students get drop-out each year, these students are unable to find a proper channel to acquire a higher level qualification or gain relevant experience to enter the job market. Most of the students are wasting their precious time and money by facing A/L examination two or three times. Consequently, students who become exhausted with their repeated A/L examinations may enter the unskilled job market with lower salary scales.
