I’m Mr. K. Ketheeswaran, for my primary education I attended T/Paddithidal Maha Viddiyalayam, Muthur Trincomalee, and for secondary education I attended T/St. Francis Xavier Maha Viddiyalayam, Trincomalee. After the completion of the G.C.E O/L examination, I continued my GCE Advanced Level Examination at K/AK/Sri Ramakrishna National College.
I was fortunate to enter the Eastern University of Sri Lanka in the year 2004 and I graduated with a first-class in Bachelor of Education Honours Degree. I was given an opportunity to serve my native university as a Temporary Lecturer from 2011 to 2013. I started work as a permanent academic at the Open University of Sri Lanka (OUSL) in 2013. Since then I have been working as a senior Lecturer at the Department of Special Needs Education, Faculty of Education, OUSL, Nawala, Nugegoda. I completed my Master of Education Degree at the OUSL as well as a master of philosophy in education at the University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka.
My teaching philosophy is “don’t teach the content to the students, teach to learn themself”
My life philosophy is “Play each role of your life span well’ “don’t waste your time for worship GOD than your JOB’
