On November 2, 2026, she visited the school during its monthly ceremony honoring the national emblem. The school faces significant challenges, with 85 to 100 students per class across all levels.

The prefect urged students to avoid behaviors that could hinder their success, such as teenage pregnancies, drug consumption, truancy, and anticipating school breaks. She also called on parents to take a more active role in monitoring their children's education, beyond mere school enrollment. This includes purchasing necessary educational materials, providing home guidance, and maintaining regular school follow-ups.

She acknowledged the complexity of the issue and the need for a comprehensive approach.
