He told officials that the modernization of the educational sector and the improvement of the quality of education are the important matter of the state and the important and strategic matter related to the future of the state, adding that there should be no neglect ranging from the even trifling matter in education.
There should be no neglect in education.
With such a noble intention, the respected General Secretary did not miss even a small problem, including the ordinary chairs and blackboard for orphans. -0-
