Greater attention will be drawn to our children here in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, during the month of May.
The month of May is celebrated annually as Child Month, and this year’s theme is “Stand up! Reach Tall! Inclusive Education for All!” while the slogan is “Every Child is Special”.
Minister of Education, National Reconciliation and Information, St. Clair Prince in his message to officially launch Child Month said that the government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines places priority on ensuring that our young people are empowered through education and so remain committed to the Education Revolution.
He said they also support the principles of human rights, the promotion of social justice, the provision of quality education, equality of opportunity, and the right to a basic education for all.
Minister Prince said the hallmark of an effective school is one where attempts are made to ensure that every child has a place to study and teachers become facilitators of learning rather than providers of information.
