WATCH: Gov’t to Consider Scholarships for All Parliamentarians
The government is preparing to consider a new policy that would make scholarships available to all parliamentarians in Antigua and Barbuda.
Prime Minister Gaston Browne confirmed that he will recommend the measure when Cabinet convenes for its next session.
According to Browne, the move is essential to ensure that elected officials have the opportunity to develop their skills and qualifications further, strengthening their ability to serve the nation effectively.
Further details on how the scholarship programme will be structured, funded, and administered are expected to be outlined once Cabinet has reviewed and discussed the proposal.
