The government of India is investing US$1 million to set up an information technology school in Grenada.
India's High Commissioner to Grenada says his country will send experts to train local teachers on subjects such as hardware maintenance and software creation. Jagjit Singh Sapra says the Information Communication Technology Centre for Excellence and Innovations will certify about 500 students a year on the Caribbean island.
The school will accept high school graduates and adults. Tuition has not yet been determined.
It is expected to open in February 2009. It is India's first large investment in Grenada
INDIA PLEDGES $1 MILLION FOR IT CENTER IN GRENADA
Littleboy i totally agrees with you on this one and i do hope that our Government together with the ministry/minister for education gets their fingers out and make sure that our schools is given access to this project because god knows we need our children to be getting on board and yes our young men should get off their butts and give the girls a run for their money in the education section so come on boys and girls here is your chance.

This is a good thing. When it comes to Telecommunications and Information Technology, India would indeed be a great assistance because they are on top of things. Now young Grenadians should take advantage of this opportunity and get all the knowledge they can while its available. We need to get the young fellows involved too. It seems like they have slackened up a bit and more females are getting into these areas. We need some programs to motivate them. Any ideas out there?????
