VICE CHANCELLOR of the University of the West Indies Sir Hilary Beckles has renewed his call for a university graduate in every household in the Caribbean.
The new UWI vice chancellor used his inauguration speech yesterday to appeal to UWI Chancellor Sir George Alleyne to have the university recommit itself to educating Caribbean people to meet the region’s developmental needs.
“We are at the bottom of the hemisphere pile in terms of the number of our citizens between the ages of 18 and 30 who are enrolled in higher education,” Sir Hilary noted.
“We need to see at least one graduate of our university and colleges in every household in the Caribbean.”
