Kelvin Simon Embarks on MBA Journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

St. Mary\u2019s South MP Kelvin \u201cShugy\u201d Simon has marked the start of the new academic year with a personal milestone, beginning a Master\u2019s in Business Administration (MBA) at the University of the West Indies (UWI) Five Islands Campus.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Extending back-to-school wishes to students across the constituency, Simon reflected on the importance of lifelong learning. Quoting Mahatma Gandhi, he said education should be embraced as a continuous journey of growth for students, teachers, parents, and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simon also took the opportunity to highlight the influence of former political leader Harold Lovell, describing him as both a mentor and an academic whose international work continues to inspire. He noted Lovell\u2019s teaching role at the University of Toronto as proof that Antiguan and Barbudan talent can compete on the global stage.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud to stand alongside him in shaping a future where education, innovation, and leadership open doors for the next generation,\u201d Simon said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The MP\u2019s decision to pursue higher studies comes as UWI Five Islands positions itself as a hub for advanced education in the Eastern Caribbean, offering programmes designed to strengthen leadership and professional capacity in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
