He made the statement while speaking during the opening ceremony of the MDP Youth Congress in Huravee School.

In that regard, President Solih said these policies strive to shape the system around real people; parents, guardians and youth, paving way for them to attain education with dignity and without having to seek sponsorship from outside parties.
