The big challenge in education is commitment, says minister Valentin |15 September 2023
鈥淓ducation is about acquiring experiences, building knowledge and above all, education is about improving lifestyle.
鈥淭here are many good things happening around education in Seychelles, but the big challenge is commitment. We need everybody鈥檚 commitment; that of the students, the parents and of course, the education workers. If we can secure the commitment of everybody, we will go far. The government will provide access and resources and everyone else in that whole quest will have to do their part and be committed to whatever they are doing.
鈥淭he time has come now for us to start thinking of the 鈥楴ew Landscape鈥� and this entails everybody contributing towards making education successful. So I am calling on everybody who can contribute, regardless of your characteristics or background, to do so.
鈥淲hat is happening right now, is that the Ministry of Education is responding to Unesco鈥檚 requirement, of including students in the major decision-making processes. We subscribe to this ideology, so we have made it our own requirement to organise a first ever Youth Education Summit for that purpose.
鈥淎s the Minister for Education, today I have the privilege to officially launch the Youth Education Summit.鈥�
