Congrats to all the graduates.
Sad thing is so many educated people in Dominica yet so little or no job opportunities for them. The migration pattern in droves towards “greener pastures” continues with absolutely no vision from any of our political leaders to reverse this situation.
You all will see the men next year . They coming In grand styLe but what u said is true. A majority of Men in dominica rather buy sports car and smoke weed with yhe guys than education. Education comes first . Material things come after .
Congratulations to all especially my former classmate Leandra Cuffy. I am so proud of you.
Congratulations to all, especially Leandra and Calma. Staff of the NDAPU wishes all continued success. This is just the beginning. Let us encourage our men to make the sacrifice. Learning is a life long experience. It does not stop with secondary school.

What are Dominican boys/men up to? I keep seeing all these graduating classes and there is a dearth of men in those stories.
I am a man and I will tell you, with the kind if men we are producing in Dominica, if I were a woman I would rather be a lesbian than be with these useless men we have on the island.
