I was watching the school panorama Sunday and I must say that pans are in very good hands.But and that is a very big but,I heard a teacher said, that particular school didn't received their prize money for 2014,which is $32.000.00 and hope that they will received 2014 & 2015 money together.Now that is bad,what is the problem with Pantrinbago of who see about money,These kids need their money also.Shame on the Authority.
