The ambassador said education extends beyond the classroom and life learning needs to be supported as well.
“This creates a question of what we should learn, how we learn, what we learn for, and what is the effect on people and society as we strive to become a peaceful society,” she said.
HE Kirsti Westphalen receives a welcome gift from Deputy Mayor Ronakit Ekasingh.
