Lesson for the minister
Wed, 31 Dec, 2003 - 00:00

Why has the minister not celebrated with students, teachers and parents the holistic atmosphere in our schools as evidenced in the carol singing, religious services, Christmas plays, concerts and fundraising for good causes which have been supported by the whole school community? I wish the minister a speedy recovery from his recent bout of biliousness when he seemed to be doing his utmost to demoralise rather than to uplift those who have been entrusted to his responsibility.
