MINISTER OF YOUTH Stephen Lashley has challenged students of Alexandra School to roll up their sleeves and be innovative.
While addressing them at their awards ceremony yesterday, Lashley said Barbados had become very dependent on imported technology.
“We have forgotten that we, too, can be innovators and we have to somehow find a way to reverse our reliance on imported technology and seek to develop our own,” he said when a large number of children raised their hands after he asked them how many had mobile phones.
“If you are serious about technology, then some of you should have thought about developing the next generation of cellphones, whether it is the software or hardware,” he added. (TG)
