A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Sri Lanka
Locations
Although it is dwarfed by its mammoth western neighbor or India, Sri Lanka is still home to a fairly large population of over 20 million citizens. The whole country consists of one large island plain located in the Indian Ocean south of the Bay of Bengal. While there are a few major urban centers located across the countryside, the majority of the population continue to reside in rural areas.
Colombo, the country’s largest city, is generally the most popular destination where to teach abroad in Sri Lanka. While the city proper is home to just over 700,000 citizens, the expansive metropolitan area which encompasses it is home to some 5.5 million total. Colombo is the major cultural, economic, and tourism center or Sri Lanka, and the country’s political capital of Sri Jayewardenepura is located directly adjacent to the city.
Because Colombo is home to nearly a quarter of the country’s population, life can understandably be quite fast-paced there. If you are looking to teach abroad in Sri Lanka in a more laid-back environment, you might look into placements in cities such as Galle, a coastal city with a fascinating cultural heritage of indigenous and colonial influences.
