\u201cAshaiman, we all know is an area with so many less endowed students and it is about time we initiate programmes to whip up the zeal for books among the students. This is the only surest way in building a brighter future for our future leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Norgbey noted that \u201ceducation is the only key that is able to close the gap between the elite and the downtrodden, and so as the MP for the area, I believe this is one way to ensure that students fall in love with their books to enable them grow into becoming responsible citizens in future.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis quiz competition will be very exciting, and I can see all the children are really into it; everybody wants to win. I believe it really came at the right time since it will help them in preparing for their future exams.\u201d<\/p>\n
