Lest the World Forget: Sri Lanka's Educational Needs after the 2004 Tsunami
Cashman, Timothy G.; Asing-Cashman, Joyce G.
Journal of Social Studies Research, v30 n2 p30-37 Fall 2006
This qualitative study strives to provide a greater understanding of the past, current, and future state of education in Sri Lanka after the 2004 tsunami. The researchers' key objectives are to provide additional insight to educators of the far-reaching impact of the tsunami via a website they created. Rather than concentrate on the same sort of information that media have provided, the researchers seek to inform participants from the perspective of first hand accounts of life after the tsunami, with special attention paid to successes and obstacles that have yet to be faced by survivors in affected regions.
