I attended an assessment and enrollment day yesterday at the Adult Education Centre in Thomas Bennett school. (Enrolling in a saxophone class.)
It was very interesting as along with signing up for classes they were doing assessments for the skills for life courses. I found it highly encouraging how many people were signing up for these basic skills, I think it takes a lot of courage to take a step towards improving your life and anyone who is willing to take that step should be encouraged. The fullest assessment however was for the English for speakers of another language, my personal belief is that language is the most important factor in building a cohesive society, so any encouragement that we can give people to integrate will in time lead us to a much stronger society.
If they say knowledge is power then surely a country which provides education to all is the fairest of all countries.
