In his message, Governor Pacoy congratulated the parents and the learners of the PGLU Child Development Centers who are moving-up to their ladder of education as the stars of the celebration, so with the ECCD educators, who have dedicated their time and hearts in ensuring that our young learners can cope with the National Early Learning Curriculum adopting the Center Based Program Implemented in an Alternative Venue.
“Despite the challenges of the pandemic, you have done a great job. Through your dedication, learning has literally continued beyond the four walls of the classroom” he said.
“It is by the grace of God, that we gather as a family in the celebration of our milestones and accomplishments in educational development; occasions such as these are great opportunities to triumph on our victories and to revisit our wins, so that we exceed our achievements in contributing to the growth and enrichment of learning in the province” he added.
