ONE THOUGHT OR TWO
From the article: “The Ministry hosted an event for secondary school students where several women who have excelled in STEM careers made presentations.” ….”Flow hopes to inspire and motivate other girls to expose the endless possibilities that a career in ICT has to offer.”
Did the Ministry think about including students from the Elementary (Primary) PUBLIC SCHOOLS? Or will there be another event for these students?
Let us interact with humility, grace, good intentions!
Save our Humanity, Save our Youths, Save our Environment, Save our Soil!!!
Respect
