We\u00a0 acknowledge our students, their parents, our teachers and principals, boards of\u00a0 management, unions, other collaborating partners and indeed our staff at the Ministry of\u00a0 Education, Youth, Sports and Culture.<\/p>\n<p>As you face the challenges and opportunities of the new term, we urge you to draw on\u00a0 the wisdom and strength of God, as you build resilience in, and for our nation\u2019s children.\u00a0 Consequently, as has always been the practice, we encourage you to start your term with\u00a0 meaningful spiritual engagement. The Ministry reminds you as is quoted in the words of\u00a0\u00a0<i>A.W Tozer, that\u00a0<\/i>\u201cNo civilization has outlived its religion and no people risen above their\u00a0 concept of God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The vision of the Ministry of Education is\u00a0<b><i>to create a resilient education system\u00a0 which develops well rounded global citizens, committed to lifelong learning and\u00a0 national development.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Mission is\u00a0<b><i>to foster a well-managed, inclusive, and values-based education\u00a0<\/i><\/b><b><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b><b><i>system that provides quality education and promotes continuous learning,\u00a0<\/i><\/b><b><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b><b><i>innovation, and patriotism,\u00a0<\/i><\/b>and we are delighted to collaborate with you in that pursuit.<\/p>\n<p>During the next school year, the wheels of transformation will be turned more deliberately,\u00a0 as we change how we treat our most precious resource \u2013 People. Our focus will include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Treating others with respect<\/li>\n<li>Boosting morale<\/li>\n<li>Building strong teams<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This wheel will span Early Childhood Development to Adult and Continuing Education. It\u00a0 will feature academic, technical and life skills education, and introduce reforms to\u00a0 strengthen existing structures or create new ones.<\/p>\n<p>The transformation has already started with the movement towards the\u00a0<b><i>free education\u00a0 policy\u00a0<\/i><\/b>and increased access to schooling. We aim to ultimately have at least one\u00a0 university graduate in each household. There will be much more to be said and done in\u00a0 this regard.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, a few words to our students. To those of you who are entering your new\u00a0 school, class or level, for the first time we congratulate you on this achievement. If you\u00a0 are among those determined to conquer the short falls of\u00a0<b>the past as you repeat,\u00a0<\/b>we\u00a0 salute you and assert that \u201c<b>the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step\u201d<\/b>.\u00a0 We look forward eagerly to great things.<\/p>\n<p>We encourage parents and guardians to continue doing their best to secure a bright future\u00a0 for our children and youth. We appreciate your sacrifices.<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry acknowledges the support of community members in the preparation of\u00a0 several of our schools for reopening. We put on record our profound thanks to all.<\/p>\n<p>We also thank our hardworking educators and administrators, who ensure high standards\u00a0 in the development of our human resource. The ministry will continue to do its part by\u00a0 providing the necessary support<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we wish every student tremendous success in the new school term and beyond.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The Ministry of Education, Youth, Sports and Culture warmly\u00a0 welcomes each of you to this September 2022 Michaelmas School term.
