He urged the members to consult with the Private Sector Commission to ascertain the areas where skilled personnel are needed and to design new programmes or revise existing ones to meet those needs.The programmes offered by the school, he said, must be of a quality standard to gain recognition from employers, particularly in the private sector.Baksh said too that the programmes must be looked at in a broad context, pointing out that they must be of a standard that will allow students to further their education at institutions ofhigher learning.On this point, the minister requested that the board implement the newly launched entrepreneurship education programme for technical students and focus on developing the school into a vibrant information technology centre.He also suggested that the college forge a closer relation with the Carnegie School of Home Economics with the aim to offer basic programmes that will be outside the major focus of Carnegie, when it embarks on its new vision as a training and hospitality institute.The school, he said, too, can explore offering remediation programmes in core subject areas for students who did not perform well at the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations.The new board will submit a report to Minister Baksh, by September, on the way forward for the college.The minister is expected to table the report to cabinet for approval and funding to actualise the new vision for the school.The board is also hoping that the school will receive an increase in subvention from government to meet its day-to-day operations. |
