I REFER to the letter “School funds wasted on courses” (July 17).

I want to bring to the attention of the whole world that the funds are not wasted only on courses, seminars, conventions etc. for teachers and school heads in the country, but also overseas like in London.

My children’s school has been without a school head for the past two months bec-ause she is in London … for courses. Is there such a need to waste public monies? Can the Education Minister please justify why London? In this era of technology, there is video or tele-conferencing, distance learning etc.
