THE EDITOR, Sir:
GOOD DAY, I am writing to you about education, ambition, dignity and integrity. I am calling on the leaders, elders, mothers, and fathers of Southside, Denham Town, Tel Aviv, Dun-kirk, Spoilers, Tivoli, Hannah Town and other communities to start pressuring your young daughters and sons to form study groups, netball teams, football teams, drama classes, and other progressive and ambitious organisations to educate and train these young girls' and boys' minds.
These young girls do not want to study and educate themselves, they only want babies, which they cannot handle because of inexperience and a lack of proper education and child care.
I would like to see the leaders, elders, mothers and fathers, force and compel these young boys and girls to take up their books every day after coming from school and do their house work. I want to see these young boys and girls go to bed 10 o'clock in the night and early to school the next morning because often they are late for school. Some are running from devotions. If these young boys and girls take their education seriously they can be the professors of tomorrow.
I have a daughter named Kenisha Pryce. She is under school pressure to study and she is now crying that it is the first she is ever going through this and crying and getting upset over school problems. So I want the mothers, leaders, fathers, elders in Southside, Denham Town and Tivoli, Telaviv to pressure their children to get some education now and stop running up and down in the street at night.
Finally, for great leaders to come from the ghetto to change society to develop into greatness, education is the key to success.
I am, etc.,
DONALD PRYCE
