His Excellency The President, Mahinda Rajapakse, in order to promote the future prosperity of all the citizens of Sri Lanka, has officially declared 2009 as being the “Year of English & IT” and at B.E.S.T. we are more than happy to actively support this very wise initiative. Alongside the auspicious British Council, B.E.S.T. is virtually the only fully-fledged private education Institute in the country that genuinely has native English speaking instructors available to help develop our students’ skills in what is now widely accepted as being the first “language of the world”. .
