From all indications, recently sworn-in Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, has hit the ground running in her quest to overhaul the education system. In so doing, yesterday the Minister was engaged in two important meetings – one with a representative of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), and another with representatives of the United Nations International Children Fund (UNICEF).
During the meeting with FAO representative, Ms. Gillian Smith, the discussion was focused on how the agency can support the development of the education sector with an emphasis on the school feeding programme. That meeting was also attended by Chief Planning Officer of the Ministry, Ms. Nicola Johnson, who was also present when the Minister engaged the UNICEF representatives.
Acting UNICEF Country Representative, Mr. Irfan Akhtar, was accompanied by UNICEF’s Education Specialist, Ms. Audrey Rodrigues.
They discussed with the Education Ministry’s team matters relating to the needs of the sector, taking into consideration, its efforts to tackle the realities presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. In this regard, UNICEF, which has been offering critical assistance to the Ministry to ensure the continuity of learning, has committed to remaining a strong developmental partner.
