It is a privilege to motivate and help all students strive for excellence. I concur with the viewpoint of American educator and reformer Horace Mann that education, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men and women,—the balance-wheel of the social machinery” said Koroma.
