\"\"<\/a>MINISTERIAL STATEMENT <\/strong><\/p>\n

“As we commence a week of activities celebrating Education Week 2020, I am indeed grateful to Almighty God for all he has done for us in the Turks and Caicos Islands.\u00a0 Every praise is to our God!<\/p>\n

This week, is a time that highlights education as the path that leads to a future full of hope, promise and prosperity. The role of education is to nurture, grow and realize every child\u2019s potential, hence this year\u2019s theme ‘Building a Resilient and Inclusive Education System’.<\/p>\n

A high quality education system is the heart and vision of our Government. With education being at the core of Turks and Caicos Islands\u2019 mission for social change and development. We must continue to raise our efforts in celebrating our teachers, as teachers are the vanguards of sustained transformation.\u00a0 My Ministry has made lifelong learning a priority. We are dedicated to providing all our children with good choices for life. We are resolute about our nation\u2019s economic strength, our children\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It must also be underscored that our educators, along with the home and the Church, are among the first avenues through which knowledge is introduced. They foster the foundation upon which hidden talents and abilities are awakened. The information imparted will influence decisions that can positively or negatively impact our society.<\/p>\n

Students, it is your responsibility to set high standards for yourself.\u00a0 You must realize that, you can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world \u2013 and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibility and put in the hard work necessary to succeed.\u00a0 You should never be complacent, instead, you should always strive to do better and expand your knowledge. You must pursue excellence.<\/p>\n

I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks to all who worked hard to plan events for Education Week 2020.\u00a0 I invite all residents of the Turks and Caicos Islands to celebrate the strengths of our educators and the success of our students during this special week. I encourage everyone to support the activities and extend best wishes for a successful week.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s continue to give praise to the only wise God. May He shower His blessings on us and our beautiful Turks and Caicos Islands.’<\/p>\n
