Na­tion­al Par­ent-Teacher As­so­ci­a­tion (NPTA) pres­i­dent Wal­ter Stew­art praised Ed­u­ca­tion Min­is­ter Dr Michael Dowlath for what he called a “Her­culean achieve­ment” in school re­pairs ahead of the start of the new term.

Speak­ing on CNC3’s The Morn­ing Brew this morn­ing, Stew­art said he and NPTA first vice pres­i­dent Zena Ra­matali ac­com­pa­nied Dowlath on vis­its to sev­er­al schools last week and were im­pressed by the scale and suc­cess of the Va­ca­tion Re­pair Pro­gramme (VRP).

“This is a his­to­ry-mak­ing mo­ment for the Va­ca­tion Re­pair Pro­gramme be­cause nev­er be­fore have so many schools been re­paired, as far as I can re­mem­ber, and suc­cess­ful­ly so,” Stew­art said.
