ST GEORGE'S, Grenada, September 11, 2009 -
The Grenada government is aiming to have a University of the West Indies (UWI) campus on the island within another three years.
That was one of the plans outlined for education by Prime Minister Tillman Thomas in an address to the nation last night. He said the government needed to provide more tertiary level education for citizens.
"We are m oving expeditiously with plans to develop a UWI Open Campus Facility here in Grenada that would accommodate not only degree programmes but would offer research facilities for Masters and Doctoral Dissertations," Prime Minister Thomas said.
"We are assured that this could happen within a three-year time frame."
Thomas said his administration also intended to continue the expansion plans for the T.A Marryshow Community College to support it as the premier tertiary education institution for Grenada.
Additionally, he said, the government has given full support to St Georges University (SGU).
