Eritrea: President Isaias Opens Ministry of Education Symposium

25 February 2011

Asmara — President Isaias Afwerki opened the Ministry of Education symposium today which is underway at the Expo grounds as part of the preparations to highlight the 20th Anniversary of Independence.

Speaking at the occasion, President Isaias stated that the pragmatic and realistic vision of the Eritrean government as regards education is based on the firm belief that the country's determinant factor for peace and progress is its people and as such an effective educational infrastructure is imperative for equipping nationals with knowledge and skills. Establishing an effective educational system in both its theoretical and practical aspects is not something that can be realized through merely vision and good will but would require persistent long-term efforts and investment, the President pointed out.
