By Pa Modou Cham

President Adama Barrow has said his government has never stopped and will never stop to put a great premium on education, given the pivotal link between Education and the enhancement of the prospects of socio-economic growth and development for any country.

He was speaking at an open ceremony of classrooms in Brikama College over the weekend.
Barrow explained that the goal of our education policies is to place emphasis on the Sciences, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). He added that in addition of course to Health and Agriculture, his Government will never relent to explore innovative means that will ensure that students who seek to pursue higher knowledge especially in STEM are able to do so under the best of conditions. “We will develop new structures and equip these structures to desirable levels of standards and quality.  We will also expand scholarship programmes to be accessed by staff and faculty of the public institutions, to enhance their performance and output.”
He urges all actors and leaders within the education sector to be doubly resolved to our education policy priorities and to ensure that our strategies are implemented effectively and successfully.
