Notes From A Native Son Of The Rock!
Warmest Congrats to Ms. David and her family!
Excellent! In this the International Decade for People of African Descent! It has been noted that People of African Descent are least well-represented in research-oriented universities!
It is a finding that has implications for the growth of postgraduate studies and research and for the next generation of academics! The People of African descent resident on the Rock are wishing you Success! This under-representation can be partly attributed to the gap between People of African Descent school-leavers’ levels of achievement, the more demanding en-try criteria of the research-orientated universities and the prohibitive cost of Higher Education!
You have reached the rarefied plateau of only 1 per cent of the world’s 25-64 year olds who have been to university! Lower for People of African descent and even much lower for Antigua and Barbuda!
May you bring a new Dispensation and Transformative Efforts to Education on The Rock!
What we need are women who will fight because they know that without a fight the old order will not be destroyed and no new order will be built. We are not looking to organize what exists but to definitively destroy and replace it.” ― Capitaine Thomas Isidore Noël Sankara, The Upright Man, Pan-Africanist Revolutionary and former President of Burkina Faso born 1949 assassinated 1987, Women’s Liberation and the African Freedom Struggle!
Really nice
Congratulations! Orna. Represent well.
