For decades, students in rural parts of Sri Lanka have faced numerous barriers to quality education—limited teacher availability, lack of learning resources, and inadequate infrastructure. However, the rise of e-learning platforms like Smart Tutor LMS is helping to bridge this divide, creating new opportunities for students regardless of their geographical location.
