On Monday, September 1st, schools across the country open their doors for the new school year. Coming on the heels of TS Cristobal, many premises are not in the optimum conditions. Some, namely the government schools, will remain closed until the environment is better suited for learning to take place.
As new staff and students join our educational institutions, I wish to greet you with a sense of optimism. Each year, you are forced to deal with less than stellar conditions but time and time again you rise to the occasion.
On that note, I pause to congratulate those who have recently passed through the ranks, especially those who achieved distinction, merit and all other accolades. I implore you to maintain that excellence in your quest for higher education or whatever your next phase may be. Your success is the country’s success. You are the future.
For those who are back for another year, I wish you God’s speed. Stay focused; stay committed.
Hon. Sharlene Cartwright Robinson
Leader of the Opposition
