Dear Editor,

Like me, the Caribbean and the rest of the world must have been shocked on hearing the news last week that the UWI would train 20,000 Guyanese over a period of five years.

A release issued by the University of the West Indies (UWI) stated that negotiations are currently ongoing to finalise an agreement to develop the “human capital” of Guyanese.

What an insult to the University of Guyana (UG) and Guyanese people by the new PPP Government led by Dr. Irfaan Ali who has recently obtained his Ph.D. from UWI.

Dear Editor,

I wish to comment on the letter by Professor Sir Hilary Beckles, Vice Chancellor of UWI, and to also put a few questions to him about President Ali’s doctoral research.

Professor Beckles letter was titled ‘Emerging relationship between UWI, Guyana can only positively affect inter-university partnership’.

I would propose that the approach to this partnership is that the University of Guyana (UG) must lead and the UWI play the supporting role.
