 The Philip J. Pierre administration's one laptop per child policy is in full swing. On September 8, the Entrepot Secondary School received its consignment of Google Chromebooks. The new devices will be distributed among first, second and third form students enrolled at the Entrepot Secondary School. Prime Minister Hon. Philip J. Pierre, on hand to officially hand over the Chromebooks, used the occasion to engage the student body and encouraged the young learners to take advantage of the government-sponsored tools and resources in their pursuit of academic achievement. A laptop will be made available to you so that you can educate yourself. That is what is going to happen. There is no distinction when it comes to education. Every solution has a right to education. Every solution has a right to aspire to be the best it can be. We want to develop a country of meritocracy, a country where what you put in is what you put out. And this is the best opportunity. This is the best opportunity for you. Now you are at school. This is a time when your priorities must be towards your education. There are going to be diversions. There are going to be times when you believe you should not be here. Sometimes being on the block might be more attractive. It might even cause you more joy. But remember, you have a future not for the country, not for your parents, but for yourself. If you do better, your parents will be happy and the country will be happy. The Pierre administration is committed to ensuring every St. Lucian household produces a university graduate. The one laptop per child policy, along with the implementation of strategic education reforms, are among the tangible policy directives that brings this objective within reach for future generations of St. Lucian students. The opportunities are equal. You have to grab it with both hands. You have to grab it with both hands. And I always say to people, to children when I speak to them, to young people, anybody can make it. When I started in this business, few people thought I'd ever become the prime minister of St. Lucia. Few people thought so, and I didn't blame them. You understand? Few people thought so. But I always knew for myself that if I worked hard, if I was dedicated, if I was disciplined, and if I had a few people to assist me, I would have made it. And if I made it, everybody can make it. Everybody can make it. The Pierre administration has distributed tens of thousands of devices to students since coming into office last August from the office of the prime minister, Rihanna Isidou.
