Hon Mather was at the time a guest on the Tuesday, April 30, 2024 edition of Cut Deep with host Rosemary L. Rosan aka 'Cindy' when he spoke on the education sector.
“What I've been trying to do for the last 11-12 months is talk about the issues that I brought up during the campaign because people voted for me based on that platform or those platforms. So I have to continuously talk about those and then talk about other things that become relevant,” he said.
Hon Mather said his relationship with Hon de Castro is not such a great one; however, a meeting between the two on areas of education is pending.
'I'm a bit apprehensive' about meeting with Minister- Hon Mather
“So the minister and I, presently, we're supposed to have a meeting. Have I sat with her and have conversations? No. Am I able to sit with her with ease and have conversations? No. Am I willing to sit and have conversations with her? I started out being willing to do it. Now I'm a bit apprehensive,” he added.
Mather said there is no friction between the two; however, he remains passionate about education.
“I think I have a strong personality where education and youth is concerned and as I think you would have known and most of the people would know, when it comes to education, I'm very strong, I'm very pointed, I'm very direct,” he said.
Hon Mather claimed that he also offered support to the subject minister in areas of education. “If the minister is doing something, which I did say to her face to face, if you're doing something and you need my support and I agree with it, I'll do it.”
Hon Mather said, that as a legislator, he has offered the government his skills with some 20 years of experience with youth programme. “Lean on me,” he added.
“At one point, I ran the government's after-school programme and summer programme…I am still hopeful we'll have conversations sure, if the conversations don't happen I'll continue to do my job in the House [of Assembly], which is to agitate, bring things to light to push our education system in the direction it needs to go,” Hon Mather added.

If you don't like her, cool, but why bring up this about her? That's why the place is staying on stuck because people like you are majoring in the minors.
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU WERE TOLD TO QUIT USING HIS NAME , YOU ARE GETTING OUT OF CONTROL NOW , ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE YOU START FLEXING OFF ON YOURSELF ,
Another thing, what you all are so often comfortable with is running from the truth. The truth is not an offence. Instead you would instead resort to talking behind people's back, but never say to their faces what needs to be said. That is where Mather differs. What he says publicly he says to people privately and stands by it. Stop with you all fakeness. That is why this place going to the dogs and will continue to go to the dogs, because you all cannot call a spade a spade, and keep it moving. You all want to hold malice instead of using that as the vehicle for introspection and self improvement.
