The training programme was funded by the Mustique Charitable Trust in the sum of $34,000. Awards were given to Sherry-Ann Ollivierre of the Little Learners Pre-school, for the Most Outstanding Student; and Susan Joseph of the Salvation Army Pre-school, for the Most Improved Student.

Featured speaker, Fitz Jones, Labour Commissioner, speaking on the theme “Uplifting the Children of Tomorrow,” urged the participants to “be role models for tomorrow’s children, as the present determines the future. He also encouraged them to inculcate in the children what they themselves have learnt from their own lives.”

The Course Report was presented by Jacqueline Robinson-Massiah, training coordinator. The graduates presented in drama and song.
