“We have to encourage and enhance at all levels of this society, a national conversation as to how we relate to one another and how, in relating positively to one another, we contribute to, and promote, the national welfare.
“But, in the modern society, achievement must not be limited by factors that are remediable. There must be economic opportunity for all. And, in preparation for life the young must have the physical care, the discipline and especially the education that will allow them to seize and exploit the opportunities. No one, from accident of birth or economic circumstance, must be denied these things. If they are not available from parent or family, society must provide effective forms of care and guidance
“Ours is the task of creating a prosperous, modern society, one in which the basic needs of our people for water, health care, education and wholesome nutrition are met, where recreation facilities are available and opportunities for cultural participation are present.”
Bharrat Jagdeo on the occasion of Independence Day 2005
