PNM in Gov't(2015-2020)

[eliteauto]

Honestly I think that the racial undertones in this thread should warrant the entire thing to be locked.
It's a disgrace to see trini being brought down to such sickening levels over party ideologies.

Locking the thread won't change the mindset of the posters, and you'll see similar sentiments on many social media platforms. You can choose to be offended or you can choose to learn from their utterances. That's solely up to you

[zoom rader]

Zr cant hide his spots.

Hide for what?

The PNM needs to be exposed as a racist party

Seems Calcutta Statement was never made

[toyota2nr]

Strangely, in a pnm time....only pnm people does suffer

Because no matter what they’re voting PNM. So why bother to do anything for them. The more they suffer the more they will vote PNM.

Should cancel this scholarship thing. 140 million tt to fund what is private education for individuals. If parents so wish they could do what other people all over the world do, get a bank loan or start a trust fund.

Taxpayers can't keep fitting this bill indefinitely. UTT letting go staff due to lack of funding but 140 million tt leaving oir shores to pay the salaries of foreign professors and staff.

Madness

that is true.

btw, where did they $140m number come from? is that annual?

Financing always an issue bro. You know how many constantly complain that the funding never on time etc and the universities threatening to kick them out?

Why can't it be three prizes. First, second and third. First prize gets the presisent medal, fully paid tuition and room and board (to uwi or utt) and 250k towards to school for improvements(computer lab etc).

Second prize is full tuition but pay for room and board and only 150k towards school.

Third prize could be 1/2 tuition and 50k towards school.

All these scholarships given out and these same ppl complaing about lack of jobs etc. Is not like they becoming the next Zuckerbergs etc they going overseas and studying the same things that could be studied here for way cheaper. This country doesn't owe you a thing because you did what you were suppose to do and passed your exams.

Oh yes and let us also remember that Kamla used taxpayers' money to send Manning abroad for treatment. So the bs is on both sides

[Redress10]

Paid_influencer

The figure was given by minister at news conference.

Imagine we giving out scholarships but not tailoring it to what the country needs? Year after year.

That same money for decades now could have been spent to further fund UWI and UTT and raise the standards and facilities there. 140 million tt gonna be diverted to foreign universities for this year alone. So quick calculation (excluding inflation and forex rates) multiply that by 4 for a standard undergrad degree and the costs to "educate" these scholarship winners is half a billion tt?

Madness.

Zoomie should be permanently banned. He serves no useful purpose here and was exposed as a racist, sufferer and fraud long time. His thinking has no place in contemporary, multi ethnic societies like ours.

this is how I know you don't know what the mc you saying......there are programs abroad that are not even offered locally....then there is the quality of the program being offered...literally incomparable

Take it from someone who studied abroad, there is little to no difference than what is already offered here.

I've known some of these ppl personally. Remember this is not a masters level scholarship. You are not going to be gaining any special fundamental knowledge that can't be gained here. Remember after their undergrad they have to return to TT to fulfil their employment obligations.

I've known ppl who used their schol to study law etc. Do you think that a law degree gained overseas via gov't schol makes sense to the country when the person will be practicing local law and there is a cheaper more locally relevant pathway via hugh wooding?

Most of these ppl are not even choosing to study at the best universities in the world which are oxbridge, stanford and yale etc. The country doesn't seem to have any input into where they study and what. What's the actual point then?

Some of what you saying makes sense, most does not..The country needs to invest in education regardless of the perceived cost. Some of it would come from foreign because the courses simply aren't offered here or the programs here are severely lacking.

An undergrad degree is the foundation degree that gives you the skills to do a job which is what is required for the nation and what the Govt is paying for. Master's degrees are for the pursuing of academia. We have a problem in Trinidad where we have too many degree holders and not enough skill or experience. The programs offered at foreign universities would involve a higher level of exposure to technology and practical implementation and in turn benefit the individual greater.

I do agree however that the degrees being offered on scholarship must be aligned to the country's needs and the choice of study on scholarship should not be up to the individual to choose but should be chosen by the MoE according to the nation's strategic direction.

Thinking that you can do everything offered at outside Universities in Trinidad is real small island mentality. I hope that your foreign education pulls you out of that...

Bredda, I guess we can agree to disagree...cuz I have people that went through and going through the system abroad and it's totally different...one person pursued a bsc in comp/elect eng, came to uwi, show them the transcript and they mind fcked as to the courses the person did at the undergrad level...that same person requested a particular masters program...the answer was "we doh have that here"...person is back abroad

The country needs to invest in education infrastructure and not the private education of selected individuals. Show me another country in the world that has a similar scholarship program.

They also can't be employed overseas because they have to return home so all they really have is a piece of paper more expensive than a uwi grad seeing that they will be employed alongside those same locally qualified individuals.

This scholarship is just to score cheap political point. M.O.E holds 2 press conferences yearly, one for SEA and one for a'levels to make it appear as though minister wukking. Bs

If the programs are not offered in TnT then that probably mean that there is no corresponding industry driving such study. Universities are driven by industry realites.

What you guys are describing ..the funding of schols in disciplines that we need requires us to have a policy on what we need.
We dont have that....we dont have a National Dev Policy that would anchor the direction we going in and therefore indicate demand for certain qualifications.

We have 1 year wish lists-how do you match a 3-5 year qualification program to that??
