    Bridging Policy and Practice: Investigating Non-Compliance with School-Based Professional Teacher Development Guidelines in Sri Lankan Schools
    (School of Education, Faculty of Humanities and Sciences, SLIIT, 2025-10-10) Fernando, S
    School-Based Professional Teacher Development (SBPTD) plays a crucial role in improving instructional quality and promoting the continuous professional growth of educators. When implemented systematically, SBPTD fosters a culture of reflective practice, collaboration, and ongoing learning, ensuring that teachers consistently refine their skills to meet evolving educational needs. In Sri Lanka, despite comprehensive national-level planning and the introduction of a mandatory SBPTD handbook, schoollevel implementation has remained inconsistent, with only 8% adherence recorded within a selected Education Zone. This study investigates the reasons behind such non-compliance and proposes structured, context-responsive interventions to bridge the gap between policy and practice.

    Analysis, Modeling and Simulation of a Poly-Bag Manufacturing System
    (Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-05-24) Gopura, R. A. R. C; Jayawardane, T. S. S
    The cost of raw material of poly-bags increases and fluctuates with an unpredictable trend. Further, legal restrictions imposed on some types of polythene products adversely affects for the demand. In this context, entrepreneurs engaging in poly-bag manufacturing face major challenges. With the purview of optimizing the poly-bag manufacturing process, authors attempted to analyze, model and simulate the poly-bag manufacturing process in the light of posed challenges. This paper presents preliminary analysis, modeling and simulation strategies of a poly-bag manufacturing system. In addition, a risk prioritization method is proposed in the preliminary analysis and also a simulation tool is developed.
