Antigua PM Hails Second Chance Programme Benefiting 8,000<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Prime Minister Gaston Browne has praised Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s Second Chance Programme, saying it has provided educational opportunities to more than 8,000 people.<\/p>

Speaking on Point FM, Browne said the initiative had helped salvage around 80% of school dropouts, with many going on to secure CSEC and CAPE passes, and some even advancing to university degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He described the programme as a vital tool in promoting inclusive education, giving adults and young people another opportunity to pursue qualifications and improve their prospects.<\/p>
