In an invitation to the various stakeholders, the organizers encouraged and anticipated participation, “as we try to ensure that children on Montserrat have access to appropriate and quality education even during times of crisis,” it said.
In a lead-up to the activity Dr. Sheron Burns revealed that Education Ministries met last year and planned the introduction of various organisations to standards put together by the INEE to ensure, “that children are exposed to education during times of emergencies.”
