So Ross go is government do that, but good exam results have nothing to do with government. Is Education in Dominica a private sector business ?
This has nothing to do with political parties. This is public servants carrying out public sector policies. This is team work. This is putting Dominica first by all. Most of all it means that parents (especially mothers) are motivating their kids, showing them the importance of education. And that our kids are smart and appreciative of the opportunities that education enables.
