Dr. Drew took the opportunity during the ceremony to underscore several key initiatives undertaken by his administration aimed at positively impacting the lives of the nation’s children.
” We have delivered a number of things; your tablet, and then one of the other things we want to give to do for you is to deliver to you your account. Each of you will get EC$1000.00 in the next few months including sharesโ, he added, โWe want you to start building an account. Learn how to save and invest from the time you are young. So that is the next thing that we are going to deliver for all of you. By the time you are 18 and you are ready to leave school you will have shares in a company, and you will have money in your bank account to invest in your future”.
Prime Minister Drew’s ongoing dedication to supporting and contributing to the schools within his constituency remains evident, reflecting his steadfast commitment to the education and well-being of the community’s youth.
