Understanding
Education
Through Data.
We study how Sri Lankan students actually learn, and publish what we find. Real data. Real insights. No fluff.
No one has more
data on how Sri
Lanka learns.
BrainUs sits at the center of Sri Lankan student learning. With thousands of students using BrainUs AI, we have access to learning data no one else does: how students ask questions, where they get stuck, and what actually helps them understand.
We use that data to publish original research, and share it openly with educators, schools, and researchers. Our inaugural report, State of AI in Sri Lankan Education 2026, is currently in the field.
Evidence-Based
Every report is grounded in primary research: surveys, interviews, and data from real Sri Lankan students and educators.
Publicly Available
All findings are published openly. We believe good data should be accessible to everyone: schools, parents, researchers.
Local Context First
We study Sri Lankan education specifically, not generic trends imported from abroad. Our data reflects the actual landscape here.
Publications
All reports are free and published openly for educators, students, and researchers.
State of AI in Sri Lankan Education
Sri Lanka's first comprehensive study on how students across school, A/L, and university levels adopt, use, and perceive AI tools in their learning, with a focus on syllabus accuracy and local relevance.
More research coming soon
We're planning more studies on EdTech adoption, teacher perspectives, and learning outcomes. Follow us or check back later.
Not Yet AvailableAll data is anonymised and aggregated. Results are published free of charge.
