Chair, 38th General Conference (Mr Stanley Mutumba Simataa, Deputy Minister of Information and Communication Technology of the Republic of Namibia) says: 

May I then consider that the General Conference takes note of the Report of the Education Commission. Dominican Republic, yes you have the floor, ma’am.

Ambassador of the Dominican Republic, Her Excellency Laura Faxas: (voice of English Translator)
Thank you very much Mr Chairman/Presidente. I wanted to congratulate the Education Commission for the work they did and I would like personally to address Kris Rampersad the President who was representing GRULAC (Group of Latin American and Caribbean Countries) as Chair of the Education Commission and adopt a very dynamic approach in Chairing that Education committee and whose results were very positive and I would like this comment of the Dominican Republic to appear in the Oral Report.

Chair, 38th General Conference (Mr Stanley Mutumba Simataa, Deputy Minister of Information and Communication Technology of the Republic of Namibia):

Thank you very much. Indeed we have taken note of that comment. Any further interventions. I see none. I am being directed somewhere. Oh Belize.

Delegate of Belize: Reverend Rudolph Anthony says: 
Thank you very much Mr Chairman. I would like to just thank the presenters of the APX and Education Commissions particularly the Chairpersons and Deputy Chairs of these Commissions. They have done an extremely wonderful job. 
I want to give particular and special mention to my distinguished colleague from Trinidad and Tobago. Dr Rampersad has done such a stellar job. She was resolute, composed, humorous, distinguished, competent, excellent, articulate, abled and qualified. 
I saw her in person myself. She performed exemplary with fidelity and zeal and this is the same way I have seen her perform on the Executive Board especially when she took the Chair of the PX Commission as Deputy Chair. Dr Rampersad has given of her time and talent selflessly and I hold her in high esteem. I want to congratulate her and her team on her extraordinary service and it is not service just for Trinidad and Tobago but it is also, as the Dominican Republic said she was doing service for GRULAC, but this is not only for GRULAC she was doing service for the world because we are the world.

Chair 38 General Conference, Mr Stanley Mutumba Simataa, Deputy Minister of Information and Communication Technology of the Republic of Namibia says:

Thank you very much, indeed we are the world.
May I then consider that the General Conference takes note of the report of the Education Commission and hereby adopts the draft resolutions proposed in document 38C/9 9:1 subject to the decisions that the conference may take when adopting the appropriation resolution for 2016/2017. Thank you very much and it is so decided.
