President David Granger yesterday attended Tutorial High School’s Annual Graduation and Prize-Giving Ceremony, where he challenged the school and its alumni to establish a Tutorial Education Scholarship Trust to help poor families to send their children to the school, a release from the Ministry of the Presidency said. He said this is the model that the school was founded on by Austin Castello, a visionary, who generously opened the doors to secondary education for those who otherwise, could not afford it.
“If you are prepared to establish a scholarship trust to help poor, underprivileged families to send their children here I am prepared to put good money into that fund to help you to help yourself. In so doing, I believe I am continuing the work of Austin Costello,” Granger said.
