The Government of Grenada is continuing to demonstrate its\u00a0 commitment to the improvement of school infrastructure across the country.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, the sod was turned for the start of the $10.8 million project to refurbish Bishops College in Carriacou. The work, under the Grenada Enhancement Project\u00a0 (GEEP), will entail construction a two-storey Multi-Science Block, reconstruction of the\u00a0 administrative wing and refurbishment of the existing building.<\/p>\n
In a pre-recorded message shared at Tuesday\u2019s event, Prime Minister, Dr. the Right\u00a0\u00a0Honourable Keith Mitchell,\u00a0said Government remains committed to ensuring that students are provided with an appropriate learning environment that is conducive to learning.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cYoung people are recognised globally as the leaders of tomorrow and therefore,\u00a0 we must ensure that they are provided with an opportunity to learn and grow in an\u00a0 environment that will appropriately nurture them to become the leaders we want them to\u00a0 be.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Mitchell urged teachers, staff, students and parents to look past the inconveniences\u00a0 that may arise during the rehabilitation work, as these would pale in comparison to the\u00a0 potential benefits to be derived from the upgraded school.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister noted that in addition to improving school infrastructure, projects such\u00a0 as these, create much-needed employment opportunities.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cAs countries all over the world continue to battle with the economic impact of\u00a0 the COVID-19 pandemic, the employment generated by projects become even more\u00a0 important. In the midst of growing unemployment in various sectors, the jobs created by\u00a0 these projects, provide a beacon of hope for persons who may have been otherwise\u00a0 unemployed. Therefore, as part of our strategy to help revitalise the local economy and\u00a0 create employment, Government is refocussing its commitment to the implementation of\u00a0 capital projects.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Mitchell said it\u2019s a win-win situation \u2013 jobs are created and workers are better able to\u00a0 provide for their families; the country\u2019s school infrastructure is improved; educators are\u00a0 more motivated to teach and students benefit from enhanced learning environments.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister concluded by reiterating Government\u2019s commitment to ensuring that\u00a0 positivity and continued growth and development are the critical outcomes achieved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
