Prime Minister Dr. the Hon. Ralph Gonsalves while speaking on radio last week took the time to discuss the awarding of scholarships explaining stating the different reasons for the delay of the scholarships’ awarding.
“We are awarding the scholarships for the results from 2021 a little late because as you know the exams were late because of the volcano and in addition there are a number of students who had queried this or that of their results, but enough time has passed and if there is any further reconciliation to be done it would be at the margins here or there, by the CXC, and that shouldn’t hold us up, going forward.” He said.
Prime Minister Gonsalves noted that despite the harsh effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the contraction of the economy, the number of scholarships awarded last year had not been reduced, but instead increased; making mention of the scholarships to the University of Wales Trinity St. David that had been secured.
