"I know that you are anxious to be with your friends, to learn with your friends and to interact with your friends -- that's the best means of learning, by being amongst people you are comfortable with," he said. "I am promising them that we will get you back in the classroom as quickly as possible." After touring the final school, Prime Minister Davis said that he was assured that all work and plans were on track, and commended Minister Hanna Martin for being on top of ensuring conditions for the upcoming face-to-face learning were in place.
