In Tonga, All We Need Is the Political Will to Bring Technological Advancement | HackerNoon
Briefly

During a recent worship session, the theme of "Knowledge and Wisdom" inspired reflection on the significance of education as a collective responsibility. The author announced their decision to postpone parliamentary ambitions until 2029, emphasizing collaboration with the current government under Dr. 'Aisake Eke, which aligns with their technological goals for Tonga. The writer advocates for prioritizing self-reliance and local innovation over dependence on foreign aid, reiterating the need for political will to advance digital innovation, as discussed in a recent LinkedIn post regarding USAID's impact on such initiatives.
Education is a collective responsibility that empowers individuals and communities, fostering a culture of collaboration and growth essential for a brighter, technologically advanced future.
This unexpected turn of events feels like destiny rising to the occasion, presenting an opportunity too significant to decline amidst my ambitions for Tongan technological advancement.
Rather than competing for a seat at the table, I find myself in a better position to collaborate directly with a government that shares my commitment.
We need to emphasize self-reliance and political will over foreign aid systems, focusing on local innovation as a cornerstone for our development goals.
