Kelvin Simon Embarks on MBA Journey

St. Mary’s South MP Kelvin “Shugy” Simon has marked the start of the new academic year with a personal milestone, beginning a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) at the University of the West Indies (UWI) Five Islands Campus.

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.

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’s teaching role at the University of Toronto as proof that Antiguan and Barbudan talent can compete on the global stage.

“I’m proud to stand alongside him in shaping a future where education, innovation, and leadership open doors for the next generation,” Simon said.

The MP’s 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.

  6. People need to make it their business. To leave other people business alone. Antiguans too damn fast. UWI is for all Antiguans, weather you are Labour or UPP.

  8. Salute to you, Kelvin Simon. Strengthening yourself through UWI is not just about Antigua, but about building the leadership capacity of the whole Caribbean.

  9. Going back to school while serving the people isn’t easy, but it shows heart and dedication. Wishing you success in your studies, Shugy!

  10. Many young Antiguans will look at Shugy’s example and feel motivated to keep pushing for their own goals. Big up yourself, MP Simon!

  11. Mr Simon this is very inspiring. It can’t be easy to go back to school after you’ve started your full-time adult life. Increasing your capacity for the sake of serving people; very commendable sir.

  12. At least we have a UPPite confessing that UWIFIC was a good move. Shugy you continue to make us proud. Putting politics aside….good move

  13. Ok we heard this 300 times already. Starting to feel like Shugy begging for headlines over this. Just go and do the hard work. Good luck same way

  15. This is one of the major reasons that UPP members, their families and supporters are best known for getting educated. they are the most educated people in Antigua and beyond. 😉

    We just love to embrace education and it fits us so well that it’s no surprise that the Most Honourable Kelvin ‘Shugy’ Simon is embarking on a MBA journey.

    Remember also that UPP are full of critical thinkers as well.

    IMPRESSIVE BOSS MAN … 👍🏾

  17. Prepare yourself for leadership.
    The next one is going to follow you.
    What about jealous Gassy
    And purchase degree Pixie
    They going to follow you.
    Great move MP.
    Dr Benjamin advised Pringle to do that.
    Not even for a Masters
    But for a Batchelors
    Some with more degrees than a thermometer told him that he doesn’t need it.
    The compared him to Papa.
    That really is blasphemy.
    Go Shuggy go!
    Go Shuggy go!!!!

  18. I keep hearing these lies about UPP was against the University. The Party was even pushing for a university, what the were against the location and taking the school from the people of FIVE ISLANDS. That’s why we are the we are. TRUTH IS THE ENEMY OF THE LABOUR PARTY

    • The UPP is ANTI-UWI FIVE ISLANDS CAMPUS!!!!! Silly, failure Lovell even went to go speak with the then resident Chinese Ambassador to attempt to get him to intervene to stop the UWI FIVE ISLANDS CAMPUS from becoming a reality!!!! The good diplomat had to remind him that diplomats do not get involved in local politics in the host country.

      Gisele Isaac, The Chairman of UPP, even went as far as saying “UWI WOULD BE WATERING DOWN ITS BRAND”if it opens a landed campus in Antigua!!!!!

      Lamin Newton was chastized by UPP for supporting the UWI Five Islands Campus. It was the catalyst for his departure from that failed party.

  19. Well done Shuggy.

    And please try to encourage Cutie to go back to school and learn how to be a better regulator of the laws of Antigua, the man is as daft as they get in crime fighting.

    And while you’re at it, learn the in and outs of financing, because we have a fellow in the highest office who claims he have a clue about finances.

    The man is as lacking as it gets in that department.

  20. The time these laborites idiots took time to cuss Simon, hes progressing. why not use that time to also get an education? Lmao

  21. I commend you shuggy.
    Keep up the good work.
    A bayye.. you laborites!
    Ps.. he’s also nice to look at.😁
    There is nothing one cute labor party politician. 😅
