Finally some focus on education! The current system desperately needs reforms. Hope they actually implement these changes and not just make another policy document that gathers dust. 🤞

As a teacher, I'm cautiously optimistic. The mention of improving primary education is crucial - that's where the real foundation is built. But will they consult actual teachers working in govt schools?

Good initiative but I hope they focus more on practical implementation than just policy making. We've seen many grand announcements before with little follow-through.

The focus on life skills is much needed! Our education system produces great test-takers but not enough problem-solvers. Hope this brings real change 💯

While the intentions seem good, I'm concerned about the timeline. "Soon" is too vague - education reforms need clear milestones and accountability measures.

My kids are in govt school - would love to see better facilities and more creative teaching methods. Fingers crossed this isn't just another announcement!
