Dear Editor,
One keeps hearing about an overflow of education and training so much in fact leave the students in this static environment in which they are taught through ‘virtual’ technology – with the aim of achieving career ‘goals’. The Goal Scholarship Programme is one of the developmental facilities that is intended to transform ambition into actual skills. A re-examination of the programme will remind of various categories of education and training, some lasting from as little as two months to six months. These include the following: one two month Certificate programme involving some 123 awardees in Motor Cycle Service and Repair.
By now anxious students would have begun to wonder about the respective results from the Indira Gandhi National Open University. Then if on schedule, by early in the new year the number of approximately 1600 students who would have registered would be looking forward to good news from the Jain University about their efforts in the four month programme described as ‘SQA Levels’. Incidentally, along with the others listed below, there is a six month programme in Tourism Studies conducted at the Indira Gandhi institution. So that hopefully between now and the New Year we all should have much to celebrate for the expected successes.
At IGNOU Certificates are offered in – Disaster Management, Craft Design (Pottery), Food and Nutrition, Health Care Waste Management, Nutrition and Child Care, Primary Teaching, Teaching of Primary School Mathematics and Tourism Studies. At UWI – Art, Painting & Drawing, Conversational Spanish, Customer Service, Early Child Health and Family Life Education, Early Childhood Infection Control, Early Childhood: Introduction to Health, Safety and Nutrition, Early Childhood: Working with Families and Communities and 14 others.
Sincerely,
E.B. John
