Labasa Sangam (SKM) College

There are clear signs now that the clouds that had cast shadows on the educational horizon have dispersed and the present educational scene holds promise for the future. There is evidence all around us that parents despite the economic difficulties they are experiencing are prepared to make greater sacrifices today for the education of their children than what they did in the past.


Let me explicitly point out that there are always lessons to learn from adversity. Great thinkers have also found meaning and purpose in difficulties.

Quarles obviously had this thought in mind when he said that “he that hath no cross will have no crown”. Our difficulties should make us better and stronger individuals just as turbulent waves make more skillful sailors.

Let us assess the much strength we still have in our multicultural society and build on them. Every where you go you still see evidence of friendly relations among ordinary people of all ethnic groups in their day-to-day life.

The ease with which people of different races mix during work and play, the spontaneity with which they help one another are all indications of the strong foundation of friendship that exit in our society. As teachers we are treated as torch bearers in our society. We cannot allow ourselves to wallow in despair and wait for better things to happen. We ourselves will have to make better things

happen by seeing the other persons point of view, by taking firm and positive steps to help those who need help, by being sensitive to others aspirations and by working hard to reduce disparities wherever they exist.

It is also timely for us to bring about greater awareness on sustainable development through our schools and the community as the destiny of future generations is dependent upon how we utilize our resources, manage our economy and uphold the basic principles of a dynamic and progressive society.

Let us all work towards it!
