"As your new Commissioner of Education it is my honor to welcome you for the 2008-2009 school year. There have been a number of developments.
Schools have finalized their planning documents and the island now has an Education policy Plan, which is of great service in our talks with the Dutch Government.
I wish you all the best for the year and all the success possible."
