Caretaker President David Granger yesterday afternoon told children of the communities of Hogstye-Lancaster Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) at a back-to-school drive that education is an investment in the future.
The Ministry of the Presidency in a press release said that the event at the Liverpool Community Centre in Region Six saw children from Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester, Ulverston, Alness, Salton and Hogstye attending. The children were presented with backpacks, bicycles and other items.
“I am happy to be here. The new school year starts soon and it is a good time to distribute school supplies and bicycles. This is not a sideshow; it is central to the investments which are being made within the public education system. Education is the most powerful investment in our future,” the President said, according to the release.
