Sir Frank on his speech emphasized two important principles that students need to take heed of. The first, was that students need to understand their nation's need of their service afterwards. The entire people and the government of Solomon Islands are in need of the skills, knowledge and of course talents that student's obtain upon successive years of studying.Thus students must go back after graduating with a heart to serve the country. As an illustration, Sir Frank briefed the students on how he served Solomon Islands after he left University as a Lawyer by profession. With toil and hard work he sincerely served the nation until in 2009 when he was elected as the Solomon Islands Governor General. He further expressed that during his years of service life was not easy, but with determination and courage he managed to perform his work faithfully till he ended up to where he was now.
Earning a professional qualification was another important principle the Governor General adviced the student of. He stated that students must work hard to achieve their qualification since the certificate is analogous to passport to wherever in the world. Once obtaining a degree, students could work any where in the world. Although brain drainage is often viewed as a controversial issue but he believed this is one way of improving the economy. Those working abroad can help the economy by way of sending home monetary assistance or remmitance to immediate family members.
In his final remarks, Sir Frank persuaded students to work extra harder since the nation of Solomon Islands rely on its students as the human resources for improvement of service and production which can lead to a healthy economy.
God bless Solomon Islands.
