Education is quickly becoming the new battleground for leadership in Antigua and Barbuda, and nowhere is this more evident than at the University of the West Indies Five Islands Campus.
As we hear in this report, with politicians and everyday citizens alike turning to the institution to sharpen their skills, the campus is emerging as both a personal and national catalyst for transformation.
UWI Five Islands Campus
Ok we heard this 300 times already. Starting to feel like Shugy begging for headlines over this. Just go and do the hard work. Good luck same way
At least we have a UPPite confessing that UWIFIC was a good move. Shugy you continue to make us proud. Putting politics aside….good move
Mr Simon this is very inspiring. It can’t be easy to go back to school after you’ve started your full-time adult life. Increasing your capacity for the sake of serving people; very commendable sir.
Many young Antiguans will look at Shugy’s example and feel motivated to keep pushing for their own goals. Big up yourself, MP Simon!
Going back to school while serving the people isn’t easy, but it shows heart and dedication. Wishing you success in your studies, Shugy!
Salute to you, Kelvin Simon. Strengthening yourself through UWI is not just about Antigua, but about building the leadership capacity of the whole Caribbean.
This is proof that education is the backbone of progress. May more of our leaders follow your path. Congrats again!
This is what true representation looks like. Not just talking, but showing the next generation that knowledge is power. Respect, Shugy!
At least one person listened to Gaston. Let us see if the rest will follow
This is good!
It will demonstrate to the younger generation that education is a life long pursuit.
And it’s not hard to develop the discipline to study and excel as mature students bring a wealth of experience that really makes the course more interesting as you see the theory in practice, and the student in turn gets to formalise practices learnt at work.
I did a masters in my late 30’s, and made sure I attended all the classes, lived in the library, submitted my assignments on time and read for the exams.
I am certain that Shugy will excel, and he is fortunate to be able to attend UWI in Antigua.
I have always thought, that the citizens of islands where UWI is located, are normally well educated as they take advantage of the close proximity of the school, and the only fees are the course itself. No flights, living in cold countries, having to share homes etc like international students who are generally debt laden by the time they graduate.
Let’s keep Shugy in our prayers.
Education is a lifelong journey, and Shugy’s decision proves that no matter where you are in life or career, investing in knowledge is one of the best ways to serve your community better.
Wishing him all the best on this new academic path! 👏📚
Congrats to MP Simon! Seeing our own representatives value higher education makes the whole community proud. Keep making us shine
Good for him. They need to put him in a special class for pompous people. One that can keep him humble and grounded
Big respect to MP Kelvin “Shugy” Simon for taking the step to further his education at the University of the West Indies Five Islands Campus. Pursuing a Master’s Degree in Business Administration while serving the people shows true commitment to growth and leadership.
