"Education is a right of every individual, not just an opportunity… as a nation we have recognized this right… at this point of celebration for the approval of Comprehensive ECCD Policy, our concern now should be with quality and accessibility for all… the policy has all the directions and mechanisms to move ahead; now we need the political will to move forward, which requires a positive stand from all organizations involved in this journey."
- From remarks at the National ECD Conference 2014.

"…together we have achieved one milestone of adopting the Comprehensive ECCD policy; now the challenge is to implement the policy and institute monitoring to ensure quality in every step… the focus should be on quality of services offered. Importance should be given to enhancing the mechanisms to uphold quality."
