The University of Guyana yesterday introduced a Master’s Degree in Strategic Development Studies and this was lauded by President Irfaan Ali.
During his keynote address at the George Walcott Lecture Theatre, at the Turkeyen Campus he said that “This programme is geared towards the development of the minds in a policy framework, in an analytical framework; bringing the output to a level in which they (the graduates) can apply themselves to very complex problems and complex issues.”
A release from the Office of the President said that the programme will also cater for all CARICOM nations since, according to the Head of State, it is imperative to have regional integration and a structural regional agenda.
He acknowledged the importance of the partnerships created not only between UG, the security apparatus and the national development apparatus, but the partnership with Guyana’s international partners.
