Parliamentary Representative for the La Plaine constituency Petter Saint- Jean said he will continue to ensure that the residents of his constituency are educated in the area of marine life.
Saint-Jean told the launching of the floating classroom programme at the Jones Beaupierre Primary School this week that the preservation of Dominica’s marine resources is of particular importance to the south east.
“The programme is important to us in La Plaine and the south east of Dominica,” he said.
According to him, education on the importance of the country’s marine resource should begin at schools.
“In this programme, we are targeting the young people. These are the ones who will take our generation forward. Hence the concept of fostering responsible stewardship of our marine resources is of outmost importance and it must start from an early age,” he added.
Saint- Jean, who was also sworn in as minister of education earlier this month, said there are a number of initiatives that have been undertaken in the south east to ensure that the people there are knowledgeable on the issues of preservation and conservation of the country’s marine life.
Way to go St Jean. This is exactly what Dominica needs! A generation of literate and sensible youth who understand what makes us the Nature Island!
Mr. St.jean leads by example. He always has something planted even as a paliamentarian. So jollie if you would do like your namesake did, you would be in wenari planting a dasheen. Peter spoke of the turtles, but Ron said he would put a jetty in Laplaine. THE ATLANTIC COAST which is more realistic? the turtle or the jetty. Give my mp a break. He is a GO GETTER not a PUPPET
what’s going on in laplaine?laplaine is on the atlantic side the ocean is always rough i would like to know how any one can get to the ocean to study employment is the key so please peter ..
Some of you people’s ignorance is just unbelievable! To Jollie, don’t you realise if the young girls and boys of La Plaine sit on the side of the road every day they probably have no ambition and no desire to work? If I am unemployed and I desire a job, I would not simply waste my time and sit by the road. Instead, i would put myself out there, be aggressive and persistent to see what job i can find. In addition, the government – Youth Division usually has many different Youth Skills programs in Computer literacy etc. Why not engage in such, rather than sit on the road side each day?
It’s high time we stop accusing the government of not providing jobs for the youth, but instead we should become proactive citizens!
We want jobs, then educate ourselves! that’s just what the Education minister is attempting to do, educating some of us who are clearly uneducated and lacking in wisdom.
why are so many dominican so foolish? why cant .. put politicks behind and be constuructive? dont .. no that people are reading the news all over the world? why do dominicans critize hatians when they seem to be more illiterate than the hatians?
come 0n people its time to put all this politricking behind and lets start puting our country first stop being negative and be constuctive. respect our leaders so that we will be respected by others .stop distroying each other because when da rise we all benifit if it goes down we are all at a lost
get them to stop eating the turtles…..i am waiting.
what marine la plaine have. I never knew that the people of this constituency was involved in marine life. best you create employment for all the young boys and girls that are always sitting on the side of the road every single day. create sporting activitites to get them involved, not just for the labourites like how the sewing class was a labourite group. please ensure that the people of the society can get themselves occupied. you talking about marine life. stupes
I am so proud of you Mr St Jean and that’s why I voted for you…. God is with you whereever you go… Stay blessed…
What are his plan to preserve the marine life? How is he going to protect the marine life and how are the people of the south east going to benefit ? these are some questions thats needs answers….
When are we going to have real politicians in Dominica to address the issues of unemployment-international airport- light rail to ease the traffic burden in Dominica. Our politiciand are only a title they pose as motivational speakers without doing any meaningful contribution to the development of the island. Its time our politicians takes on the major development plans for Dominica.
lol while Ron making a fool of himself lol hahahahahaahahah
That is the way to go Hon peter St Jean.
