Mrs. Samuel’s tenure as an educator was par excellence. Coupled with her management skills and the ability to create strong bonds with her students, her contribution to the profession of teaching will not be forgotten,\u00a0 Browne stated.
<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On behalf of the Honourable Minister of Education, Science and Technology, Michael Browne, Permanent Secretary, Rosa Greenaway, Education Officers and the thousands of teachers within the public school system, I pay tribute to Mrs. Samuel’s life and work and pray for strength for her family and other relatives in this difficult period, the director of education concluded.
