What about early childhood education, PM?

I am appalled and so disappointed after listening recently to Prime Minister Andrew Holness making a big announcement about funding secondary school education without one solitary word on early childhood education.

These two tribal parties are determined to keep nearly 40 per cent of our people in darkness and enslaved by garrison politics.

It was National Hero Marcus Garvey who first spoke out against mental slavery, and Bob Marley made a song and made the words famous. Now we, like hypocrites, are jumping up and celebrating Emancipation Day without living free.

How can we be free if our minds are kept backward and ignorant? Prime Minister Holness, stop being a hypocrite and properly fund early childhood education. Bring it into the formal education system and teach children from age two to read, reason and respect — the real three R’s, instead of the bogus Reading, wRiting and aRithmetic.

I am so disappointed in you, Prime Minister. Your words are becoming hollow and meaningless; reminding me so much of Michael Manley.

I am so sad for this beautiful country.
