Parents, teachers, and Principals, all gathered at the Zion Moravian Church to show their solidarity to the new graduates. Dressed in their golden gowns, reminiscent of glowing, rising stars, the 77 graduates were given certification to prove their successful completion of the A Ganar program.
This alliance between the Ministry of Education and Partners of the Americas was formed in December 2011, when the Ministry was contracted to train 120 of the nation?s youth many of whom live in NEVIS REAL ESTATE, using the four-phased A Ganar methodology. Confident that this unique, sport-based programme would be beneficial to the students, the Ministry decided that their target group would be students at the lowest streams of the fourth form level.
Phases 1 and 2 were to run from January to July. The schools had employability, Phase 1, training on Tuesdays, and on Thursdays all participants went to their respective sites, where training in the technical areas, Phase2, of their choice was done. Phase 3 of the program allowed the participants to be attached to local businesses to demonstrate the skills that they had acquired throughout the programme.
The A Ganar Secondary Schools Work Based Program is funded by the United States Agency for International Development, in conjunction with the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative.
