32 Former Gang Members Enrolls in ABICE
Thirty young men who had left school early and were former gang members have recently been enrolled in the Antigua and Barbuda Institute of Continuing Education (ABICE).
This enrollment comes after Prime Minister Gaston Browne and members of his government intervened.
ABICE is known as the leading Technical Vocational Institution in Antigua and Barbuda.
The institute aims to provide a more focused, efficient, and effective service that can serve as a stepping stone for individuals looking to further their education and training qualifications.
Prime Minister Browne has expressed his admiration for the young men and has actively worked to encourage them to leave the streets and return to school.
The government has also pledged to take steps to ensure that these individuals are able to find meaningful employment.
Additionally, PM Browne has successfully facilitated a truce between the 2Drilly and Grays Farm Killers crew.
