«We hope that this gathering will be the
first step in a journey to continue
broadening the purposes
of schools so they help all
children develop the skills that really matter to deepen democracy in the Americas.»
«And it's the added enrichment - the out
of normal hours services, the holiday clubs, the breakfast clubs, the trips to
broaden the horizons
of our
children, the reading sessions for parents, the extra-curricular sports, culture and arts activities - that I fear will be
first to go.»
