Editing Outcome-based education (section)

===Sri Lanka=== 
Although it is unclear when the OBE was started in educational practices in Sri Lanka, In 2004, the UGC jointly with the CVCD, established a Quality Assurance and Accreditation (QAA) Unit (which was subsequently renamed as the QAA Council in 2005) started the first cycle of reviews based on the “Quality Assurance Handbook for Sri Lankan Universities 2002”.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.eugc.ac.lk/qac/downloads/QA_handbook.pdf |website=www.eugc.ac.lk |access-date=2023-09-16 |title=Quality Assurance Handbook}}</ref> In the Handbook, emphasis is given on the Intended Learning Outcomes as one of the main measures in evaluating the study programmes, Subsequently, based on the feedback, the manual was revised. In the Revised Manual <ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ugc.ac.lk/attachments/1519_IR%20Manual%20-%20Printed%20Version%207th%20May.pdf |website=www.ugc.ac.lk |access-date=2023-09-16 |title=Manual for Institutional Review}}</ref> the Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) proposed that Outcome-Based Education (OBE) together with the Student-Centred Learning (SCL) concepts be introduced within the higher education study programmes. Subsequently, almost all the manuals developed in this regard included the OBE, and more objective measures were introduced to measure them when reviewing. 
Today, all the teacher training programmes emphasize the training on OBE concepts such as the Certificate of Teaching in Higher Education (CTHE) run by the Universities and Postgraduate degree programme in Medical Education run by the Postgradute Institute of Medicine (PGIM). 
As the QAC of the UGC has introduced a mechanism to include OBE concepts, and it is being frequently monitored, almost all the degree programmes in Sri Lanka are now adopting the OBE concepts into their curricula.
