I cannot explain or even try to emphasise how the teachers, parents and pupils have continued to operate in the school. The commitment shown by staff is absolutely remarkable under restraints. I have outlined the history of the school and the frustration and false hopes in the community. I appeal to the Minister to evaluate this project seriously, based on the facts as I have presented them. A wait of 17 years is just too long – too long to have children live in false hope year after year.
