Student life is short, she said while encouraging them to focus on studies. She also stressed on prioritising education, while saying that there are many students whose parents can’t afford to send them to school.

Those who cannot afford education or discontinue studies should engage in skill work, she added.

The minister also pointed out that the theme of the conference “Rational integrity” should be practiced and implemented as it is an important rule for life. She further advised the students to obey their parents and believe in the wisdom of God to excel in life.
