In keeping with an earlier promise, Principal of the Essequibo Technical Institute (ETI) Rawle Pearce on Thursday offered full scholarships to two young women who were among the 43 graduates from First Lady Sandra Granger’s Information and Communication Technology (ICT) training workshop, which was held at the Anna Regina facility.
The Ministry of the Presidency said in a statement that Pearce offered the scholarships to Best Graduating Student Atika DeJonge and Second Best Graduating Student Jada Hendricks during their graduation ceremony, which was held at the ETI.
The two-year scholarships in ICT at the ETI will also cover free textbooks and a work attachment during the July/August vacation period. All of the other workshop participants were offered a 50% reduction in the institute’s registration fees.
