I want to congratulate you and wish you well on this journey as we seek to further strengthen our education system, as we seek to ensure we build an institutional environment in which our teachers are treated fairly in which the process of governance continue to improve and deliver in a manner in which all can find acceptable standard and can find good governance.”
The Head of State said that the functions entrusted on the Commission must “not be taken lightly” while charging the Commissioners to be faithful to their oaths and to execute their duties with professionalism.
“Your actions will contribute, in no small measures, to ensure that the Teaching Profession is populated by persons that are worthy of educating the present and future generations,” President Ali said.
Present at the swearing in ceremony yesterday were Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, SC and Chief Education Office (CEO), Mr. Saddam Hussain.
