Freeport, Grand Bahama - Enclosed is a Press Statement by

J. Kwasi Thompson and photos at

Tabernacle presentation.

In Pineridge, we believe in
Education. It is an unmistakable
truth that the decisions young people make today affect the rest of their
lives. It is our obligation to help them in any way we can to realize their
full potential. I believe that is part of my obligation as a community leader
and as a Member of Parliament.

There are two important
points I wish to address during this presentation.

The Government has made it
possible for all students who achieve five BGCSE passes with C or above,
including math and English to go to the College of the Bahamas free of charge.
This creates a wonderful opportunity for every young person. This means however
that now is the time concentrate on obtaining good results...
