Chief Education Officer, Mrs. Connie George is encouraging teachers to push through with perseverance during the 24 hour curfew.

As Chief Education Officer, I am pleased with the enthusiasm shown, the positive attitude and the excellent attendance of the Primary School teachers to the Google training,” Mrs. George said, adding, “On behalf of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Youth Affairs, Fisheries and Agriculture, I want to thank you for your dedication and commitment to making e-learning successful.”
