Happy with work of Garcia, Lovell

We are now in a situation where our oil and gas economy can no longer sustain us, and as such I welcome all the initiatives put forward by the Education Ministry on how we can deal with this phenomenon.

I would like to suggest to the goodly ministers that the focus must be skills-driven and TVET (technical and vocational education and training) centred. We must move away from the notion that academics is the be-end and end-all for this nation’s prosperity.

Minister Garcia, you are doing a fantastic job. Please continue your good work and listening to the educational stakeholders who are paramount to the success of the education system.
