In his speech, the outgoing Minister Dorsonne, who spent nearly 12 months in this post, recalled the highlights of his time at the head of the Ministry and the difficulties encountered in his management stressing "It is up to the new incumbent to ensure the follow-up of a few projects in the education sector and to initiate others [...]"

The new Minister Pierre Josué Agenor Cadet, a former professor of social sciences at the Institution of the Sacred Heart in Turgeau and Saint-Louis de Gonzague in particular, recognizes the scale of the challenges ahead, notably the question of wage arrears of teachers.

He pledged to bring novelties in the education system for effective success, to the quality for all efforts made for decision makers, specifying that new technologies and school canteen are two of his priorities in his management.

Also, he promised to straighten the Haitian school that has operated at several speeds for decades. He said that teachers will be better accompanied, but he will also be required that children in the classroom have the time it takes in the teaching-learning process.

Finally, he explained the crucial role that education plays in the development and progress of modern societies.
