“Handing over the completed and fully furnished block of classrooms to the school, I reiterated the need for adequate investment in the education sector.
“For me, prioritizing education means making adequate budgetary allocations for the sector, facilitating training and retraining of teachers, introducing and supporting the use of ICT to enhance teaching and learning, providing necessary infrastructure and ensuring strict supervision and implementation of standards and practices – these are essential to achieving academic excellence.
“On my own part, I will continue to ensure that I leverage the opportunities available to my office to improve the infrastructure in our schools as well as provide the necessary supervision to ensure that those awarded these projects deliver effectively.
“Our children deserve the best possible learning experience, and we will continue to do our possible best to ensure that they get what they deserve!
