Anglican Infant gets A Computer Lab

What role did the Ministry of Education play in all this? One must not pour cold water on this heroic, yes the heroic travails of this school. But there is no functional redundancy.

In terms of class size, 25 students per class is a good rule of thumb. However, this may not be the case. That said, what if a computer unit breaks down. There seems to be an inadequacy in terms of replacement units. Fail they will, at some point in time, and hopefully not in terms of Murphy's law.

Our past students have not yet shouldered the responsibilities of citizens in a developing nation by forming "old scholars networks" to help past schools they attended. With these past-students organisations in place, that school could have called upon its related group to come to its assistance world-wide also.

Following the exhortations of Marcus Garvey, this represents one of the greatest signs of an independent-minded people -- organization -- and not just the simple march past of uniformed groups on Independence Day.

We fail miserably in our responsibilities as grownups, when we do not make the sacrifices for our young people's development. They are our future and what this country will eventually become.

We will continue to undermine even our very hard-earned MINIMAL achievements to date, see them reversed and come to naught, because those coming after us, have not had the requisite tools to build on what was left them by the present and past generations.

Don't blame the youth therefore, if we now fritter away our time in complacency that we, and this generation, have done all we can for ourselves. As a past National Youth Council leader, it can be said that our pension plans and retirement arrangements for example, are under real threat and are at great risk, if our young are not up to speed on meeting the challenges of the future.

Without the necessary tools, those coming after us will not be able to shore up our crumbling and ill-maintained social and economic infrastructure.

What an interesting story. Congratulations for this sterling effort in development education.
