FIFTEEN-year-old Hugh Jacobs was all smiles yesterday after learning that he had scored eight distinctions in the May/June Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC).

The St Mary's College pupil, who received his results at the Frederick Street, Port of Spain School—which is also known as the College of the Immaculate Conception (CIC)—had a celebrity moment when colleagues, parents and teachers literally bombarded him with hugs and kisses

The most recent discussion was on the usefulness of UTT but was getting to the point of hijacking a politics discussion so here we are.

I believe it needs to be revamped, get all the corruption issues out of the way and set it on track.

I do not feel that UWI as it is has the capacity to properly serve the needs of the entire country. Capacity aside, it is a regional university with one campus located in T&T - it is not a T&T university and it is not centrally accessible to everyone. Set up UTT's main campus somewhere in the southland and put a satellite campus in Tobago. Use it as part of diversification - train people in areas we would like to develop. Include a research center where we can develop contributions to the world instead of always being the followers. Get the private sector involved. Don't forget the influence of competition either - it will force UWI and other institutions to up the ante to stay relevant. ]]> Education Sirius http://www.ttonline.org/threads/9735-Expanding-Tertiary-Education-in-T-T First OJT, now GATE ??? http://www.ttonline.org/threads/9608-First-OJT-now-GATE?goto=newpost Mon, 09 Aug 2010 15:13:37 GMT News coming in that GATE has been officially cut.
