“Dear students, in today’s competitive world, education is a very vital tool. Nothing will have, as great an impact on your success in life, as your education. The opportunities that will open to you in life will be determined by the education you receive. Deep down in the hearts of us all we want to be leaders; leaders in governance, in science and technology, in the creative arts, in health, in academia, sports and what have you. But no matter the field of the career you choose, you will need an education to pursue it.”

The Minister tasked the students to put their maximum in all they do, saying “Set for yourselves a duty to strive for excellence. Our world is in dire need of leaders, innovators, creators and problem-solvers.”
