I wonder how many of the 299 degrees relate to the practical skills that we desperately need in Dominica.
Congratulations. But my God, where are the boys? What is happening to the young men in our country? I know this is an international issue, but just like was done in Dominica with reference to covid, we can do much better!
Something does not seem right here:
“Two hundred and ninety-nine degrees have been conferred in various fields of studies to this yearās graduating class of the Dominica State College (DSC).”
It is a bit confusing; hence one would like to know if they are saying two hundred ninety people received degrees; or if they are implying in two hundred different disciplines?
One need to remember that “DSC” is not a four year college, nor a University, so in what various fields of study they are referring?
A two year college is limited to what discipline they can teach, and hopefully their subjects are transferable; actually, prerequisite to an institution of higher learning such as a four year college or university!
DNO really lovely pics but can they please be uploaded on facebook so we can acess them?
ADMIN: You should be able to access them on the site. While we are not guaranteeing it, if we can dedicate the bandwidth (there are a lot of files) we can attempt uploading them this weekend.
