Text
I thank the Minister for the statement, which delivers on some of the commitments that he made when he gave us his vision early in his tenure. I know that many schools in my constituency, some of which he has visited, will be excited at the prospect of investment in pitches and outdoor facilities. In the modern era of education, why is investment in technology so crucial?
