Nevis Students At Higher Education Meeting
Charlestown, Nevis
November 10, 2008
Senior Secondary School students on Nevis were urged to explore the options available to them in their pursuit of higher education. That advice came from Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Human Resources in the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) Mr. Chesley Manners on November 10, at a question and answer session hosted by the Nevis Library Services at the Red Cross conference Room in Charlestown.
He said the NIA had pledged to give the necessary support, financial or otherwise to ensure that Nevisians realized their goal, a move in line with its philosophy that education was the key to the development of any nation.
Notwithstanding, Mr. Manners underscored the need for teachers and told students of the availability of scholarships in the area of Geography, Food and Nutrition, English, Mathematics, Health (Nursing, health technology, Medicine and Environmental Health), Economics, Accounting, Tourism (Hospitality) in Technical Areas (Building Technology, Technical planning, Electricity and Electronics and Automotive Technology), Music, Surveying, Engineering and Geothermal Technology.
