"In order to neutralize these negative tendencies, the Patriotic Front will embark on a massive programme of re-education starting in our schools from the lowest to the highest levels, and the use of the State-owned media houses producing programmes that conduce to this objective.
If we are to develop our most valuable resource, our human resource, we have to reform the education system. The Patriotic Front believes that our education system is still colonial in its nature and geared towards producing personnel and workers for the metropolitan countries. Our system should produce a core of highly skilled inventors and innovators with relevance to our needs as a nation.
It is urgent, therefore, that we re-orient our education system and our syllabuses in all our learning institutions to produce inventors and innovators and creative minds, instead of merely being copiers of others." Mickela Panday - May 25, 2019 - Launch of Patriotic Front party - excerpt from press conference speech.
