However, a turning point came in 1997
when he attended the British Petroleum

ā€œ
In the trend to send personalized
guidance to students, Dr. Rohitha
Rathnaweera believes in the
fundamental concept of self-discovery.
He encourages individuals to embark
on an introspective journey, delving
into the core of their aspirations and
contemplating the role of their career
in the broader context of life.
One of the major questions he poses is
whether individuals perceive their
career as merely a means to sustain
their existence or if they recognize life
as an essential component of their
career success. It's a thought-provoking
query that invites profound self-
reļ¬‚ection.
For those who prioritize life, Dr.
Rathnaweera is a proponent of aligning
one's career with one's intrinsic
passions and interests. He believes that
such alignment not only enhances job
satisfaction but also nurtures creativity
and adaptability. In this approach, the
pursuit of a vocation becomes a
fulļ¬lling journey guided by personal
passion rather than external pressures.
To be precise, his approach to
personalized guidance is a compass for
individuals navigating the intricate
landscape of life and career choices. It
champions authenticity, self-
awareness, and the pursuit of personal
passions, ultimately fostering a sense
of fulļ¬llment and purpose in every
individual's unique journey.
Interactive Learning with 3D Models
and CFD Simulations
Engaging in an innovative teaching
approach, Dr. Rathnaweera employs
3D models and CFD simulations to
elucidate operational concepts and ļ¬re
safety measures. By immersing
students in lifelike scenarios, the
complexities of emergency response
planning come to life. Beyond the
classroom, the educator utilizes driving
simulators, addressing the diverse
terrains of international markets.
Monitoring tools for blood oxygen
levels and fatigue prove instrumental
in conveying the signiļ¬cance of
Conversely, for those who are
inherently career-oriented, he
emphasizes the signiļ¬cance of self-
discovery along the professional path.
He advocates for the exploration of
one's strengths, values, and aspirations
to achieve a harmonious balance
between ambition and personal
fulļ¬llment. Moreover, he underscores
the value of self-employment options
as a safeguard against the external
pressures that can often encroach upon
one's career trajectory.
Regardless of the path an individual
chooses, the counsel places a premium
on individual fulļ¬llment and personal
choice, transcending the inļ¬‚uence of
external expectations. Dr. Rohitha's
guidance empowers students to make
deliberate, conscious decisions about
their educational and career journeys,
ensuring that their choices are not mere
responses to societal norms or
pressures but reļ¬‚ections of their true
selves.

My strategy is based on the
belief that 'Transforming
education for the future

shall minimize unemployed

scheduled breaks and rotations to
operators and managers.
Furthermore, the adept use of virtual
and IT tools grants remote access to
problem areas, facilitating rapid
solutions, even from hundreds of
kilometers away. This approach
enriches the educational experience,
bridging the gap between theory and
real-world application.
In Dr. Rathnaweera's approach to client
engagement, exceeding customer
expectations stands as the paramount
objective. Achieving this goal entails a
delicate balance between
understanding their unique needs,
empowering them with knowledge,
and presenting solutions that are not
only eļ¬€ective but also user-friendly, all
at an aļ¬€ordable cost. Years of
commitment to this principle have
yielded a track record of dependable,
cost-eļ¬€ective, and highly beneļ¬cial
engagements, naturally fostering trust
among clients.
While guiding students through the
intricate landscape of education
decisions, he encounters various
challenges, which he adeptly addresses
through three distinctive approaches:
Problem-centric, Solution-centric, and
Personal-centric.
Resolving Issues with Precision
In the Problem-centric approach, the
focus lies on resolving speciļ¬c issues,
even without a precise understanding
of the desired outcome. This method
proves valuable when students are
aware of a problematic situation but
lack clarity regarding its exact nature.
He assumes the responsibility of
identifying the root cause, interpreting
indications, and devising the optimal
course of action to arrive at the desired
solution.
Alternatively, the Solution-centric
approach is employed when the
objective is to identify a speciļ¬c
solution through any available means.
It allows for ļ¬‚exibility and creativity in
problem-solving, ensuring that students
arrive at a concrete resolution tailored
to their needs.
In situations where personal
achievement or recognition is
imperative, the personal-centric
approach comes into play. Dr.
Rathnaweera understands that some
students may have unique aspirations
that extend beyond academic or career-
oriented goals. Here, he provides
personalized guidance and support to
help students realize their individual
ambitions.
In every scenario, his commitment to
client satisfaction and his versatile
approach to problem-solving ensure
that students receive the guidance and
support they need to navigate complex
educational decisions successfully. His
dedication to understanding their
speciļ¬c needs and delivering tailored
solutions continues to make a
signiļ¬cant impact on their educational
journeys.
Fostering Inclusivity Across
Boundaries
Dr. Rathnaweera's rich and diverse
professional background has equipped
him with a deep understanding of
working across various cultures, tribes,
and religions. Recognizing the
sensitivity inherent in these
interactions, he has honed the practice
of entering participants' backgrounds
beforehand. This proactive approach
allows him to identify potential
triggers related to their family, cultural,
and religious aļ¬ƒliations.
With meticulous attention to detail, he
carefully evaluates aspects such as
language, vocabulary, examples, group
dynamics, and topic selection. His
overarching goal is to foster an
inclusive climate where every
participant is recognized as an integral
part of the learning journey,
transcending cultural and religious
boundaries.
As the educational sector undergoes a
transformation marked by the ascent of
online learning and global
opportunities, Dr. Rohitha guides
students through this evolving terrain.
The shift from traditional Education
1.0 to Education 2.0 and beyond has
been greatly facilitated by the wealth
of internet resources. He actively
engages students in assignments that
require independent research, tapping
into the vast repository of online
materials.
Moreover, he orchestrates connections
among participants based on their
respective places of employment, a
strategy that allows him to draw upon
location-speciļ¬c examples closely
related to the subject matter. This
approach minimizes disruption to their
daily routines while maximizing
relevance.
The seamless integration of technology
also enables real-time information
sharing and collaboration among
participants. By harnessing these digital
tools, Dr. Rathnaweera empowers the
group to expand their knowledge base
collectively, fostering a dynamic and
interactive learning experience. His
commitment to adapting to the ever-
evolving landscape of education
ensures that students are well-equipped
to navigate the plethora of options
available to them in the digital age,
facilitating their growth and success.
Small Groups, Big Impact
Dr. Rathnaweera adopts a multifaceted
approach to assess and nurture the
potential of professionals when time
and resources permit. He is an intellect
who uses tools akin to the Herrmann
Brain Dominance Instrument to gain
insights into individuals' cognitive
styles and preferences, recognizing that
these assessments, while not entirely
precise, can be valuable indicators for
personal and professional development.
In the sphere of educational
endeavours, particularly within his
supply chain management classes, Dr.
Rohitha fosters experiential learning
through group activities and encourages
students to form small groups
autonomously, tasking them with
creating virtual operational or
commercial business models. Within
these structures, students assume
various roles and responsibilities
related to the subject matter, allowing
their individual performances to be
assessed comprehensively. This
approach serves as a platform for
identifying their strengths and
aptitudes, facilitating personalized
guidance.
Dr. Rathnaweera's commitment to
ethical considerations is appreciable. In
his educational models, ethics
permeate every facet, encompassing
business, social, and cultural
dimensions. Ethical discussions are
woven into the fabric of each
interaction from the outset, creating an
environment where ethical decision-
making is central to the learning
experience.
Moreover, he actively encourages
participants to voice any concerns
related to ethical issues, whether they
pertain to fellow participants or
external stakeholders. To further
reinforce ethical integrity, an
ombudsman is appointed when
requested or deemed necessary by
participants. This proactive approach
ensures that ethical guidance aligns
with the best interests of students,
fostering an environment where ethics
are not just taught but also practiced in
every aspect of their education and
professional development.
Punctuality as a Virtue
Dr. Rathnaweera's approach to
consulting and teaching embodies a
philosophy rooted in military theory:
"Be a soldier before becoming a
commander." This guiding principle
underscores his unwavering
commitment to mastery within his area
of expertise before taking on the roles
of consultant and educator.
Prior to stepping into the consulting
and teaching realms, he dedicated
himself to mastering the intricacies of
his chosen ļ¬eld. This preparation
ensures that he can adeptly address any
queries or challenges that his audience
may present, fostering an environment
of trust and conļ¬dence.
Furthermore, Dr. Rathnaweera places a
strong emphasis on staying current
with the latest advancements in his
sector. He recognizes the importance of
continuous learning and strives to
possess not only knowledge but also
the qualities necessary to convey
information to his audience eļ¬€ectively.
Developing exceptional listening,
speaking, and interaction abilities is a
cornerstone of his approach. These
skills enable Dr. Rathnaweera to
connect with his audience on a
profound level, facilitating meaningful
and productive engagements.
In all his interactions, he places a
premium on respecting everyone's
time. Dr. Rohitha adheres to precise
schedules, ensuring that both the start
and end times of his sessions are
observed with utmost punctuality.
ā€œ
Education is only
the knowledge
gathered without
having any reference
to its application.
This commitment to eļ¬ƒciency and
professionalism reļ¬‚ects his deep
respect for the audience's time and
underscores his dedication to
delivering high-quality consulting and
teaching experiences.
Dr. Rathnaweera's holistic approach to
consulting and education is a testament
to his unwavering commitment to
excellence. He meticulously prepares
conscientiously by mastering his ļ¬eld
and staying current with industry
advancements, ensuring he can address
any inquiry. His dedication to
continuous learning keeps his
knowledge up to date. His exceptional
communication skills foster
meaningful connections with his
audience.
Above all, Dr. Rathnaweera's deep
respect for others is reļ¬‚ected in his
punctuality and adherence to
schedules, demonstrating his profound
consideration for their time. This
comprehensive approach not only sets
a high standard for professionalism but
also empowers those he serves to excel
and thrive in their endeavors.
Equipping All for Success
Dr. Rathnaweera's educational
landscape stands apart, characterized
by its remarkable diversity. In his role
as an educator and consultant, he
engages with a wide-ranging audience
that spans the spectrum of age and
professional experience. His students
and clients encompass the youngest
undergraduates at various universities
all the way to seasoned individuals
occupying positions of leadership and
authority, including CEOs, Managing
Directors, Senior Managers, and retired
government servants.
The inherent diversity within this
audience necessitates a unique set of
tactics, strategies, and rules of
engagement. He recognizes that the
needs, expectations, and goals of his
students and clients are as diverse as
their backgrounds. He tailors his
approach to cater to this diversity,
ensuring that his methods resonate
with and cater to the speciļ¬c
requirements of each individual or
group.
For the undergraduates, Dr.
Rathnaweera's approach focuses on
foundational learning and skill
development, nurturing their potential
and setting them on a path to future
success. Meanwhile, for seasoned
executives and government oļ¬ƒcials,
his strategies involve drawing upon
their extensive experience to enhance
their leadership capabilities and
address complex challenges.
Dr. Rathnaweera's ability to adapt his
tactics and strategies to suit the unique
demands of his diverse audience is a
testament to his versatility and
commitment to delivering value in
education and consultancy. In this
distinctive educational landscape, his
goal is to empower individuals at every
stage of their journey, ensuring that
they are equipped with the knowledge
and skills needed to excel in their
respective domains.

Expanding Horizons
Abroad Programs
A chance to thoroughly engross oneself
in a foreign culture is probably one of
the most alluring features of studying
abroad. Diļ¬€erent customs, dialects,
foods, and ways of life are exposed to
students, which can be incredibly
enriching.
The possibility of academic greatness
is one reason why many students are
attracted to study abroad programs.
They could be able to pick the brains
of eminent professors, have access to
cutting-edge research, or discover
specialized ļ¬elds of study.
Having a global perspective is a vital
skill in today's increasingly connected
society. Students who study abroad
develop a more complete awareness of
global challenges and other points of
view.
www.theknowledgereview.com October 2023 | 19
n the ļ¬eld of education, the quest
Ifor knowledge has taken a global
turn as students look for new
opportunities for both academic and
personal advancement. The rising
popularity of study abroad programs is
one of the most important changes in
this world of education. Education
consultants are essential in fostering
this transformative experience because
these programmes give students a
chance to expand their horizons on a
cultural and academic level.
Magnetic Pull of Study Abroad
Options
Studying abroad is no longer a
specialized pursuit; it is now a
common goal for students across the
world.
Living abroad, away from the
conveniences of home, maybe a life-
changing experience. It promotes self-
development, independence, ļ¬‚exibility,
and the acquisition of important life
skills.
Employers frequently place
signiļ¬cance on the knowledge and
experiences acquired while studying
abroad, making graduates more
marketable. It exhibits traits like
adaptability, cultural awareness, and a
readiness to face diļ¬ƒculties.
Role of Education Consultants
Students who want to study abroad are
guided and mentored by education
counsellors. They are crucial to
students who want to pursue an
international education.
Education experts are very
knowledgeable about several study
abroad locations, institutions, and
programs. They provide insightful
advice on picking the best academic
institution and program that
complement a student's objectives and
interests.
It can be challenging to navigate the
intricate web of applications, visa
requirements, and ļ¬nancial planning
for an international education.
Education consultants make this
procedure simpler so that students can
do it quickly and easily. Many
education consultants are
knowledgeable about scholarship
opportunities and may assist students
in locating and applying for ļ¬nancial
aid, making a foreign education more
aļ¬€ordable.
The paperwork and applications for
visas might be challenging. Education
consultants help students through every
step of the procedure and make sure
they have all the required papers.
New Zealand, which is well-known for
its magniļ¬cent scenery, is also
becoming more well-known for its
innovative education system.
The Hurdles and Factors to Ponder
Even if the idea of studying abroad is
unquestionably thrilling, it is not
without its diļ¬ƒculties. Students must
take some things into account. The
price of studying abroad might vary
depending on things like tuition, living
costs, and currency exchange rates.
Students should carefully consider
their spending and investigate
scholarship options.
Getting used to a new culture may be
beneļ¬cial and diļ¬ƒcult. The possibility
of homesickness and cultural
diļ¬ƒculties should be anticipated by
students. Students should make sure
that the academic program they select
supports both their academic interests
and long-term employment aspirations.
For non-English-speaking countries,
language proļ¬ciency is crucial.
Students may need to take language
proļ¬ciency tests, such as IELTS or
TOEFL, as part of the admission
process.
Conclusion
A transformative experience, studying
abroad broadens one's perspectives,
deepens personal development, and
improves academic and professional
chances. Education consultants are
essential in guiding students through
the challenges of studying abroad.
Their knowledge, direction, and
assistance make the process simpler
and enable you to fulļ¬ll your ambition
of studying abroad. The extension of
horizons through foreign education is
an investment in a brighter, more
internationally conscious future as the
globe becomes more interconnected.
Once a student is admitted, education
consultants continue to work with
them. They provide pre-departure
orientations as well as ongoing support
following arrival to aid students in
adjusting to their new surroundings.
Where Students Set their Sights
The appeal of studying abroad is not
just in the idea but also in the variety
of places students might go.
The United States is a preferred choice
for many international students
because of its renowned universities
and cultural variety. It provides a huge
selection of educational possibilities
and research opportunities.
The UK is a popular destination
because of its extensive history and
institutions that are well-known
worldwide. Particularly well-known in
the arts, humanities, and business.
Canada has experienced a rise in the
number of international students who
are drawn to its welcoming culture and
top-notch education system. It's the
perfect place for people looking for a
balance between natural beauty and
academic brilliance.
Students from all around the world are
drawn to Australia by its varied
landscapes and energetic towns. The
nation is renowned for its chances for
research and strong educational levels.
Germany has been a popular option for
students looking for a high-quality
education at a reasonable price because
it oļ¬€ers tuition-free education in many
colleges.
Singapore has become a centre for
technology and education with a focus
on innovation and research. Modern
programs are oļ¬€ered at its universities.

Dynamics of Education Consultants
Education consultants have historically
been involved in career guidance or
college admissions. The importance of
these areas has not changed, but the role
of education consultants is expanding.
Currently, they are employed in a range
of educationally related industries,
including Kā€“12, higher education,
corporate training, and edtech.
One important trend in education is the
development of personalized learning.
Education consultants support
organizations and teachers in creating

preferences, learning styles, and
aptitudes.

consultants oļ¬€er experience in a range
of ļ¬elds, including curriculum
creation, career counselling, college
admissions, and the integration of
educational technology.
In addition to assisting students in
making informed academic and
professional decisions, they also
support educational institutions in
enhancing their policies, practises, and
teaching strategies. To ensure that
students and institutions get the
support they need to prosper in a
constantly changing educational
environment, education consultants
play a critical role in remaining up to

and educational best practises.

educational institutions choose, use,

Globalisation is a trend in education
consultancy. Consultants assist
organisations and students in
navigating options for overseas
education. This includes cross-border
partnerships, foreign student recruiting,
and study abroad programmes.
The Impact of Technology
Technology has revolutionized
education consulting in numerous
ways. It has enabled consultants to
reach and support students and
institutions around the world.
With the rise of video conferencing and
digital collaboration tools, education
consultants can oļ¬€er their expertise
globally, eliminating geographical
boundaries. Consultants can use data
analytics to gain insights into student
performance and institutional
eļ¬€ectiveness. This data-driven
approach helps in making more
informed recommendations.
Education consultants are often
involved in recommending or even
developing online learning platforms
and content, which have gained
tremendous popularity, especially
during the COVID-19 pandemic.
AI-driven chatbots can provide instant
support and answers to common
questions, oļ¬€ering a personalized

Education Consultation
While education consulting is
skills and competencies rather than just
knowledge.
Education consultants will also take
care of the mental health and well-
being of students. They will help
institutions develop strategies to
support the emotional and mental
health of learners. Consultants will
continue to have a signiļ¬cant impact
on education policy. Their expertise
will be crucial in shaping government
policies that aļ¬€ect schools, colleges,

With the increasing demand for
upskilling in the corporate world,
education consultants will have a role

The Human Touch
The "human touch" still plays a crucial
role in education consulting despite all
the technical improvements.
Understanding students and institutions
on a human level and establishing
connections with them are crucial
skills. Consultants lend a helping hand
by delivering guidance, support, and a
personalised approach that technology
cannot replace on its own.
Conclusion
The ļ¬eld of education consulting has a
promising and open future. The job of
consultants is more important than ever
as education evolves and changes to
reļ¬‚ect the changing reality. Education
consultants are at the vanguard of

promising and dynamic, it is not
without its challenges. The growing
number of education consultants means
that quality can vary. Finding a
qualiļ¬ed and reputable consultant can
be a challenge.
The ethical boundaries of education
consulting are continuously evolving,
especially when consultants are
involved in admissions consulting or
helping students with their academic
work. Some consulting services can be
costly, limiting access to those who can
aļ¬€ord it. Bridging the gap and making
consulting more accessible is an
ongoing challenge. The industry is not
heavily regulated in many places,
which can lead to inconsistency in the
quality of services and a lack of
accountability.
The Future of Education Consulting
The future of education consulting
holds many exciting possibilities. As
society transitions to a knowledge-
based economy individuals will need
continuous learning throughout their
lives. Education consultants will play a
vital role in helping adults adapt and
upskill.
Artiļ¬cial intelligence will assist
consultants in providing more
personalized guidance to students. AI
can analyze student data and
recommend customized learning paths
and resources. Education consulting
will increasingly involve international
collaborations. Consultants will
facilitate partnerships between
institutions worldwide and enable
students to access education from
anywhere.

evolve, consultants will guide students
and institutions in adapting to new
assessment methods that focus on
