EDUCATION is another important component in nation-building and the government and parents should give greater concentration to it, a principal says.
Anglimp High School principal George Rambang said that last Friday during the school’s 11th Grade 10 graduation.
Rambang said education was an investment that could make the future generation become somebody important.
He said in order to see young people become somebody useful, it needed the government and parents to start investing in their lives through education.
“Parents, do not give up if your children failed his or her education because there is always a way out and a way in,” he said.
“If there is no space in secondary schools, this does not mean that it is the end of their education.”
He said children should be disciplined at home as that was where parents should explain to them the importance of getting an education.
Rambang said the country needed more lawyers, accountants and pilots and that needed greater investment in education.
“We know that the government is paying for school fees but this does not mean we, parents, are to waste our resources on something else,” he said.
“The burden that really weakens us is school fee but it is our privilege to have the government remove this load from our shoulders.
“Knowledge is power and education is life.”
He said as a teacher he knew what education was and how it could make somebody important
