Message from Reverend Ronald Thwaites, M.P., Opposition Spokesman on Education
I commend the University Council of Jamaica on its continuing efforts to ensure quality in Jamaica’s tertiary offerings.
I urge you to tread resolutely but cautiously on the road to Institutional Accreditation.
It takes time for Colleges and Universities to mature; it requires consistent research efforts and stability of faculty and adequacy of facilities.
In our zeal to expand professional and vocational opportunities, let us never dilute the standards of excellence which above all can ensure our growth and international repute as a knowledge based society.
The University Council is worthy of our reliance to achieve this end.
