Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa claimed today that he is a degree holder and tabled all his certificates in Parliament.

"I attended Kindergarten at St. Bridget's Convent and then joined S. Thomas Prep for my Primary Education. I studied at Royal from Grade six but sat for my Ordinary Level and Advanced Level examinations at Milhill College UK. I joined the University of London and obtained by first degree. However, I could not complete my Masters as I returned to Sri Lanka in 1993 after my father's death and took up politics. However, later I joined the University of Maryland, US and then did a Masters degree at the Open University. Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya was my lecturer at the Open University," he said.

Premadasa tabled all his educational cirtificates in the House.
