Dear Editor,
Without prejudice to the other stories and pieces contained in your Sunday
edition, I refer to your report on the ‘No Child Left Behind Policy’. The activism and work of Minister Priya Manickchand should not go unnoticed. The minister has demonstrated, thus far, that she is willing to listen and change systems where necessary. I am encouraged with this type of leadership in a land where stewardship of the state apparatus has been fraught with a penchant for intransigence. It was like food to the soul when I read her remarks “But we can’t fail to hear what people are saying…” I sincerely wish that this humility becomes contagious and is spread to all cabinet members.
Yours faithfully,
Ronald Austin, Jr
