OPINION: UWP free education at SALCC proposal: questions to be answered (Part II)

The United Workers Party (UWP) in Saint Lucia has recently announced a policy proposal for free education at the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College (SALCC), sparking both support and skepticism. While the initiative is not aimed at university-level education, it has raised significant questions about its feasibility, implementation, and alignment with the party’s previous stances. This policy, juxtaposed with the Saint Lucia Labour Party’s ‘One University Per Household’ initiative, demands thorough scrutiny from a public policy perspective.
