Twenty students from Irene B. Williams Secondary School and All Saints Secondary School in Antigua and Barbuda will receive scholarships to help prepare them for their Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations.

Senator Lamin Newton announced the continuation of his scholarship programme on Tuesday, saying the initiative will provide additional academic support to students from both institutions.

The scholarships will allow the recipients to attend The Learning Center, where they will receive supplementary instruction ahead of their examinations.

“We remain committed to creating educational opportunities for our young people,” Newton said in a Facebook post.

The senator described education as one of the greatest investments in the country’s future, saying programmes of this nature are intended to help students reach their full potential.

“Congratulations to all 20 recipients. Wishing you every success as you prepare for this important milestone,” he added.

Newton did not disclose the monetary value of the scholarships or the duration of the academic support.
