Message by Jocelerme Privert :

« Dear parents, school principals, inspectors, teachers, unions, students and pupils,

Haitian people!

Near of the new school year 2016 - 2017, I want to send a message of solidarity, of support and congratulations.

The societies worth what worth their schools! Education remains the only safe path to progress and the only launching pad to social mobility. It is education that allows citizens o gain respect, to be useful to themselves and their families and to occupy a prominent place in their communities and in society. Thus, I invite all players in the chain of education to work with all seriousness, dedication and determinationthat the nation knows you, to guarantee that back to school and have a successful school year.

Dear parents, teachers, principals, unions,

Thus, with the Prime Minister, all members of the government and especially the Minister of National Education and Vocational Training, we have carefully prepared the return and made all the arrangements to ease the burden of parents, in these times of great economic difficulty.

Do not drop our guard. You are the architects and guardians of Haiti of tomorrow, that it concerns us to build together and to bequeath to our children. We have, in this sense, no other choice that join forces and work together for a more just society through universal education, responsibility and of quality.

Manman ak papa pitit,

Pandan nap mobilize tout resous nou pou nou reponn a misyon esensyèl nou ki se fè eleksyon pou peyi a rive jwen estabilite'l, e pran wout devlopman ak travay, nou vle pwofite nan okazyon rantre lekòl ane sa a, pou nou salye tout aktè ak tout ajan edikatif yo pou angajman yo ak kolaborasyon yo ki pèmèt rantre lekòl la rive posib nan dat 5 septanm nan.

Mwen konnen sa pafasil ak gwo difikilte ekonomik pou fanmi yo. Men mwen konnen tou pagen sakrifis ki enposib pou edikasyon timoun yo, pou pèmèt yo ale lekòl e rive itil tèt yo demen.

Nan sans sa a, Mwen vle salye espesyalman tout paran alawonnbadè kipa janm sispann goumen pou pitit yo rive al lekòl e pèmèt yo reyalize rèv yo.

Chapoba pou nou ! Mèsi anpil pou tout lòt Manman ak papa k ap mete men pou ouvè pòt lekòl pou pitit yo e ede yo vanse pi devan.

Gouvènman an, bokote pal, ap kontinye bay bourad pou soulaje manman ak papa pitit pou rantre lekòl la menm si pagen anpil mwayen. Minis edukasyon ap bay popilasyon tout enfomasyon sou jefo sa yo.

Moman an difisil se vre, men se men nan men nap rive chanje sa, chak sitwayen dwe pote kontribisyon pal pou nou rive chanje eskanp figi edikasyon an nan peyi a.

Dear Compatriots,

The start of school opens unquestionably an exceptional period in which the State support must address in the manner the clearest possible for the most needy parent despite the harsh political and economic realities of the country. However, despite our limited means, true to our commitment to serve you with respect and dignity while safeguarding your confidence in the future, we decided to make strategic choices and priorities. After several meetings related to the pre back to school spent formal instructions to all ministries and all State bodies concerned to work together in synergy to fulfill their missions in the most efficient manner and as efficiently as possible for the benefit of all students, in the country.

Dear teachers,

You are the pillars of the education system, you are the controllers of education that accompany our children on the path of knowledge. The Government rely, once again, on your daily support to guide our youth in classroom and contribute to the revitalization of the education sector. We know and understand the difficulties faced by your sector and we are committed to move toward their final resolutions

Dear principals,

You have a key role to play in improving the academic performance of your institution. I rely on you to fully assume your responsibility for the revitalization and excellence of your school of the Haitian school.

Dear inspectors,

I rely on your dedication and commitment to the cause of education for a successful mission to provide a quality school accessible to all. Thank you to continue to give the best of yourselves despite difficult working conditions on the ground.

Dear students,

Be on the expectations of your parents and your teachers bytaking advantage of every minute of your time. Learn, listen, read, do research, be attentive and applied. You have your future in your hands. We are in a globalized world and very competitive. Only the best can take their game and be successful. I urge you to be the best!

To all stakeholders and partners of the education sector, I renew the Executive's commitment to continue efforts to continuous improvement of public education services as well as the actions taken to reform the sector.

An n mete men pou yon lòt kalite lekòl nan enterè timoun nou yo e nan enterè péyi-a.

Welcome back to all ! »
