Today’s fast moving world and the growing technologies demand better systems and modernized processes for providing improved services to our stakeholders.
In other words the key to better serve your stakeholders is through improving and modernizing the systems associated with the services provided to them.
The comment was made by the Minister for Education Mr Filipe Bole while officially launching the revamped Ministry of Education website at the Marela House .
“Today, we are here to witness another step in the direction of improving and modernizing our systems and processes so that we can better serve our stakeholders,” Mr Bole said.
He said in this competitive world regardless of the size if a business does not have a website than that business may not be able to reach out well to its stakeholders.
“I believe we are all aware of the value of a website for any organisation. A scholar once said that “in this day and age, despite the size of your organisation, if you don’t have a website, you’re potentially losing business to other organisations that do”.
Mr Bole said this sums up the great need for this important communication tool for the Ministry.
“Not only is it cost-effective, but more importantly, it contains information on the core business of the ministry and other items that are of public interest,” Mr Bole said.
Three weeks ago, he said he took a tour of the facilities of the Ministry’s new distance learning centre and observed that the new centre is being set up to improve communications and education service delivery to our remote, rural and island schools.
“A week later, I was present at the launch of the new Government Information and Referral Centre, where we were reminded by the Prime Minister that we will need to modernise the public service for more effective service delivery and for overall productivity and efficiency.”
Mr Bole added that as highlighted by the Pacific Regional Digital Strategy role of information communication technologies (or ICT's), is a powerful tool for social development, economic growth and good governance.
“This website, for sure, will pave the way to empower our stakeholders with knowledge to make informed decisions on matters that pertain to education,” the Education Minister added.
