During his speech, Sajith promised that under his future government, English language labs would be established in all government schools across Sri Lanka. This initiative aims to improve English language skills among students.

This experience motivated him to improve his language skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Efforts to Improve English Skills:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To overcome the language barrier, he actively engaged in several practices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watching news channels like BBC, CNN, and Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading English newspapers such as The Sunday Times, The Independent, and The Telegraph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Utilizing English language labs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning new English words and synonyms daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He credited his father as an inspiration for his dedication to learning English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advice to Students:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Premadasa encouraged students to watch English news channels and improve their language skills through consistent practice and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Verification of Academic Performance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we do not have access to Premadasa&#8217;s educational certificates from St. Thomas&#8217; College or Royal College, we cannot independently verify his academic performance at these institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow us and stay up to date with our latest fact checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/factcrescendosl\/\"><strong>Facebook<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/factcrescendosl\"><strong>Twitter<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/factcrescendo_sl\/\"><strong>Instagram<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqBwgKMODMpgswyNe-Aw\"><strong>Google News<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@factcrescendosl\"><strong>TikTok<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video has been misrepresented on social media. Sajith Premadasa did not claim to be the least performing student at his schools in Sri Lanka. Instead, he shared his experiences of facing challenges with English proficiency upon moving to England and his efforts to overcome those challenges. His speech emphasized the importance of improving English language skills and proposed the establishment of English language labs in Sri Lankan schools as a part of his vision for educational development. Therefore, the viral video clearly alters and misrepresents his statements, misleading the public about Premadasa&#8217;s actual message and intentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!DOCTYPE html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t\t\t.container {\n\t\t\t\t\t  border: 2px solid #000;\n\t\t\t\t\t  background-color: #eee;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 5px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  padding: 16px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin: 16px 0\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container::after {\n\t\t\t\t\t  content: \"\";\n\t\t\t\t\t  clear: both;\n\t\t\t\t\t  display: table;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t  float: left;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 50%;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container span {\n\t\t\t\t\t  font-size: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 15px;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t@media (max-width: 500px) {\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  text-align: center;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  margin: auto;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  float: none;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  display: block;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/english.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Altered.png\n\" alt=\"Avatar\" style=\"width:120px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><span>Title:<\/span>Sajith Premadasa&#8217;s Comments on His Educational Experience in UK Misinterpreted in Social Media<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <strong>Fact Check By:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:info@factcrescendo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fact Crescendo Team<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><strong>Result:<\/strong> Altered<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/html>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=94771514696&#038;text=Please%20send%20your%20query:%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2481\" src=\"http:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Whats-app-sri-lanka-new.png\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe to our WhatsApp Channel Opposition leader Sajith Premadasa has frequently become the target of misinformation campaigns on social media, where his speeches are often edited and altered.
