Deputy Prime Minister with responsibility for education, Sam Condor said his ministry?s White Paper, designed for a revised approach at secondary school level, is part of the St. Kitts/Nevis Labour Party government?s vision to have at least one university graduate in every household by the year 2020.
Condor said the technological infrastructure and curriculum standard at the new Saddlers Secondary School highlights the government?s plans to ensure the nation?s youth attain a solid academic future.
Reportedly, all classes have internet and cable connectivity and mobile computer carts access to every classroom. These features would be implemented at other high schools throughout the island, he said.
As reported by SKN Vibes, Condor explained that apparently now 5 to 7 per cent of students go to university and attain a university degree. The ministry?s goal is that by 2020, the gross enrolment rate for students going to college should be at least 50%.
?We want about fifty per cent of our students in secondary and post secondary for any particular group leaving for university enrollment for the same (group) being at least 20 per cent so . So we want to increase by 2020 our university students for any university enrolled group to be about 20 per cent.?
Condor is cognizant that such objective would be a ?tall order?, adding that the St.Kitts/Nevis government is hoping that all provisions made to increased access to second university education, will make increase university enrollment more possible.
