Minister of Education Michael Browne is hoping to receive final approval for UWI Antigua Campus tomorrow.
A Ministers of Education Meeting planned for Friday, May 31, 2019, will be held primarily to ratify the Technical Committee’s approval of the commencement of the Fourth Landed Campus of the UWI at Five Islands, Antigua, in September 2019.
According to three government, the Minister was assured that the gaps identified by the Technical Committee are either cured or are about to be cured.
For example, a sum of EC$154,000 have been set aside to bump up the speed of the I.T. connections at all four campuses: ABIIT, ABHTI, ASC, Five Islands.
It is hoped that the UWI will name a Registrar and other officials, and identify Lecturers and Professors for all disciplines that are to be taught.
Arrangements will be made to celebrate the significant step forward, after the decision to ratify has been made on Friday, a Cabinet statement said.

I still think the UWI brand is flawed – it does not command respect globally. I like the PM’s idea on this but I wish we could go with a National University of Antigua (NUA) concept rather than UWI. We could have NUA partner with world-class institutions such as Harvard and Cambridge in areas such as MBA, PhD’s, etc.
Notes From A Native Son Of The Rock! “Come, then, comrades; it would be as well to decide at once to change our ways. We must shake off the heavy darkness in which we were plunged, and leave it behind. The new day which is already at hand must find us firm, prudent and resolute.”

“Let us waste no time in sterile litanies and nauseating mimicry. Leave this Europe where they are never done talking of Man, yet murder men everywhere they find them, at the corner of every one of their own streets, in all the corners of the globe. For centuries they have stifled almost the whole of humanity in the name of a so-called spiritual experience. Look at them today swaying between atomic and spiritual disintegration. …Let us decide not to imitate Europe; let us combine our muscles and our brains in a new direction. Let us try to create the whole man, whom Europe has been incapable of bringing to triumphant birth. Two centuries ago, a former European colony decided to catch up with Europe. It succeeded so well that the United States of America became a monster, in which the taints, the sickness and the inhumanity of Europe have grown to appalling dimensions. “
