Why you as the Minister of Education did not recognize her and the rest that are still alive or breathing. Is only when someone pass away these comments are being made.
Come on madam EDUCATION MINISTER, as a former teacher, you know most of them, do the honorable thing while the others are alive.
They do at the teachers rallys.. Do you attend?
Why don’t you encourage the parents to be more appreciative of the teachers in the classroom, instead of being defensive with their badly brought up rugrats..
