Mr. Engelbert Prosper Sracoo, Municipal Director of Education, said the school blocks alone could not ensure quality education without the efforts of themselves, parents and guardians, teachers and other stakeholders.
He advised the students in the Municipality to be serious with their studies and also urged parents and guardians to be responsible in ensuring that their sons and daughters in school would be studying always to justify the investment they were making in them.
He also appealed to teachers to show commitment to their duties and help inculcate wisdom to the children.
