“We are looking at an institution for the practical people of Nevis. The comprehensive school system was introduced in 1966/67 and it has been a negative aspect to some persons who left school with very little academic training and no skills.
We would like to cater to these people and I would like to see us achieve that by giving the knowledge of business and various practical skills,” said Premier Parry. ~~Adz:Right~~
Training for Tourism and Hospitality will also be part of the training. During the meeting Premier Parry declared. ”It is important that Nevis residents interested in Tourism receive training that they can be prepared for top level positions with local hotels.”
Premier Parry also stated that the Institution of post secondary education in Nevis would be independent of St.Kitts, but both islands would be linked.
