While recalling the visit, PM Browne said that spending time with the differently abled students of the Adele School was a joy filled moment for him as the Prime Minister and as a parent.

He outlined, “Although differently abled, these students have demonstrated that they are developing compensatory mechanisms and cognitive adjustments to cope with their circumstances and therefore they too can make meaningful contributions to our society.”

The Prime Minister also lauded the principal and the staff members of the Adele School for the exceptional work they are doing consistently with these special members of the society and said, “I am truly impressed with their work.”

Prime Minister Browne, before leaving the institution, informed the teachers of some of his recommendations for improving student life and knowledge and skills delivery at the institution.
