THE LAPTOPS ARE HERE!

In some ways this very useful development is like having the cart before the horse. Clearly, the mandarins together with a little foresight seemed to have altogether overlooked the HRD component of productivity for the wider population and workforce.

So is the Ministry of Education now in the business of developing test takers? Or, is it in the business of creating an educated workforce to attract more FDI? Or, is it a matter of generating various types of technologies to make a significant dent in Saint Lucia's unemployment rate? So where is the jobs creation component of this initiative? Is this beyond the tether of the Ministry of Education?

The Chinese company label purchasing IBM's PC business has a sound product. Therefore, a decline in cost per unit was expected. But the question is by how much, since the acquisition involved a middleman? And if substantial enough that it was brought up by the ministry officials, where did the cost savings go or how were they applied?

The Ministry of Education is supposed to house the personnel with policy execution expertise at their finger tips. They are the technical people with the skills to execute government policy.

If they should fall short in their duties to advise and direct correctly the politicians of the day who are in charge (especially, in the minutes on the files dealing with the separate issues) then the entire country suffers.

Criticism of a ministry's operations, or execution of a particular policy is not necessarily directed at a government or a particular minister as such. Although, the buck stops there. Ultimately, that person is to carry the blame for all short-comings.

This is how good governance works.

This is the Westminster Model. Whence came the constitution of Saint Lucia which we are supposed to follow and which is supposed to inform all our political behaviours.

Acceptance without any questioning is the servile posture of slaves, of idiots, and of those with low self-esteem.

Criticizing for criticizing sake, on the other hand, is the expected behaviour that political yard fowls do uncritically and repeatedly, in knee-jerk fashion.

Not all students have internet at home.The population is crying out on the high cost of living.Now in addition every home should have internet? What is left for students without internet at home = PLAYTIME!
I'm very sceptical if government made a good decision with implimenting this.
