Kini also acknowledged teachers and parents for shaping children’s future.

“You play a crucial role in guiding our children as they explore their creativity and develop their passions. Your support and encouragement are the foundation upon which these young learners will build their futures. To the parents, your love and support are invaluable. You are your child’s first and most important teacher.”
