 We have a lot of great ideas that sometimes we fail to share. Physical education teachers attended a retreat recently hosted by the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports under the theme growing stronger together. This gathering forms part of a series of engagements with sports administrators as the ministry continues its pursuit in the development of student athletes. No stranger to physical education, Honorable Kenson Kazeme was empathetic to the challenges faced by the profession. As a former physical education teacher, I have an appreciation for the importance of physical education teachers in this country. I have an appreciation for a lot of the struggles, the lack of equipment to do your work, the lack of support, communal support to develop teams, a lot of the struggles with the psychology of some parents and even principals in developing young athletes, very away of a lot of the struggles. Through consultations like these, officials of the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports hope to build stronger relationships with stakeholders. The minister remains committed to providing the avenue for future athletes to succeed and develop sports in St. Lucia. No excuses. We need to do it for the next generation of Julianne Alfreds, Diane Sammies, Johnson Charles and the likes. We need to do it for them. And so today's activity for me is really not an activity that should be combative, but it should be frank. The discussions should all go towards the theme that has been selected for today's activities. Coming together, being united. The ministry intends to hold additional engagement with partners as plans progress to design a new and improved school sports program 2022 to 2023.
