"content": "Our national values are in Article 10 of the Constitution. They emphasise on patriotism. It is one aspect that is enshrined in our Constitution and the national anthem. It will be wrong if we, as leaders, do not ensure that these national values are practised. When making the Budget, it is important for us to provide funding to ensure that some of these things are in place. At Independence and a few years after, there was a lot of emphasis on teaching about the national values, even in schools. The National Anthem was taught in schools. Ethics were incorporated within our curriculum. To ensure that we bring up these national values, we must start from primary and secondary education levels upwards. We cannot start at a higher level without inculcating these values at a younger age. The President emphasised the importance of this."
