President Mohamed Nasheed has last evening inaugurated Mandhu College.
Speaking at the inauguration function held at Mandhu College, the President stressed the role of education in the development of a society. He said that for a country to develop, it was important for its people’s thinking to develop too.
The President said that the government’s education policies were centred on higher education institutes. He further said that the government could not do everything by itself and stressed the importance of increased participation of private sector in implementing government’s developmental programs.
Speaking in this regard, the President said that with the turn of the century, the country has reached the crossroads, and that the country’s development has come to a halt.
