The theme is Success for Every learner, and Minister of Education Hon Akierra Missick shared that: “Success is ensuring that on leaving our system, all children are able to leave with some form of certification. The Ministry believes the curriculum must be reviewed, that Technical and Vocational teaching and learning must be enhanced, that children with special learning considerations must be given opportunity for inclusion and resources must be in place to ensure all of this takes place.” More about TCI Education Week 2016: http://www.gov.tc/index.php/pressoffice/605-public-notice-education-week-2016
