🤝Mustique Charitable Foundation Continues to Support the SVGCC

On Friday 11th October 2024, bursaries from the Mustique Charitable Foundation (MCF), were presented to 26 students from the Division of Teacher Education (DTE). These bursaries amounting to US $52,299.00, will cover the students' tuition fees and costs related to the 2025 Teaching Practicum.

The recipients are from the Early Childhood and TVET cohorts, all in their second year at the SVGCC.

The MCF also provided funds for the purchase of three new projectors for use by DTE lecturers.

The DTE and the SVGCC extend heartfelt thanks to the Mustique Charitable Foundation for its continued support. 🙏💙

We will introduce a new programme in Teacher’s Education for the upcoming 2021/2022 academic year. The college will now offer a fully online programme in Early Childhood Care & Development, set to commence August 2021. The one-year certificate programme is geared towards preschool teachers who have an interest in receiving formal teacher training, but may find it difficult to pursue full-time studies. Now an opportunity is being presented to those individuals which offers more convenience and flexibility.

Our college will also experience another first in the upcoming 2021/22 academic year as we are set to introduce a fully online programme in Primary Teacher Education. This will be the first time the college is offering this programme exclusively online.

Continuing our adjustment to “the new normal” we will offer a blended-learning experience to students enrolling the 2021 Early Childhood Education full-time programme.

Dean of Teacher Education (DTE), Dr. Harriette Da Silva, in encouraging prospective students to apply, reiterated that teacher training is required if teachers wish to unlock the true potential of students in the classroom.
