Today I was encouraged by the presence of private sector agencies at the Investment and Financing Forum for Affordable Housing. We are a step closer to realising one of our manifesto pledges and Sustainable Development Goal 11.1 - to provide safe, affordable and quality housing.

This project by the Government and the Saint Lucia National Housing Corporation will seek to address the inadequate housing stock and to build climate resilient structures especially among low to middle income families.

I look forward to gradually transforming the housing landscape in Saint Lucia for the benefit of the people.

NATIONAL LANGUAGE POLICY INCHES CLOSER TO IMPLEMENTATION
Education officials are working toward having students be bilingual at the end of primary school and biliterate at the end of secondary school, ensuring that they are as capable of reading and writing in Kwéyòl, as they are in English.

Stakeholders gathered for a presentation of the National Language Policy and Implementation Plan, which seeks to fully integrate the Saint Lucian patois into the school curriculum.

The Curriculum and Materials Development Unit (CAMDU) of the Department of Education, Innovation, and Vocational Training secured funding from education partner UNESCO—the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization—to design an implementation plan for the application of the Saint Lucia National Language Policy.

Secretary General for the Saint Lucia National Commission for UNESCO, Ms. Marcia Symphorien, said the organization is committed to promoting languages and multilingualism in the education system, because languages advance inclusion, foster social cohesion, and contribute to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #4 – leaving no one behind.

“Today’s consultation forms part of a broader process which seeks to take the National Language Policy from policy stage to implementation phase,” Ms. Symphorien said. “The project was conceptualized by the language department of CAMDU in the Ministry of Education and was funded by UNESCO under its participation programme 2020/2021 call. Specifically, the project addresses the very important issue of the status of the creole language within the education system. The key objective is the development of an implementation plan that will transform policy into action.”

The policy was developed under the OECS USAID Early Learners Programme in order to address the language needs of students in the early grades. The draft implementation plan was presented to stakeholders by a suite of language specialists and educators, focusing on four pillars: teacher professional development, curriculum and assessment, resource acquisition, and development and research.

“My purpose is to speak on the implications that the implementation of this language education policy will have on the nation’s teachers,” said SALCC Head of the Modern Language Learning Unit, Dr. Kathy Depradine. “Overall our goal is to ensure that our learners who are the most important clients in this process benefit from their tenure within the school system. Of course, teachers are very critical to learners achieving these learning objectives in the classroom.”

Following the presentation, participants provided feedback on the National Language Policy as it nears the final stages of implementation. Working sessions to develop the plan are set to continue with stakeholders.

The draft policy can be viewed and downloaded from the CAMDU website. The official presentation of the National Language Policy and Implementation Plan is earmarked for July 2022.

"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." Philipians 2:3-4 (NIV)

Our children are depending on us not only to shape their future but to also ensure that they have the basic necessities and opportunities to excel.

Let us remain focused as we continue to pray and work in the interest of our children.

The current administration is determined to provide affordable, safe and beautiful housing to Saint Lucians, specifically those who have low wage jobs and cannot qualify for a mortgage at a commercial bank. We aspire to begin this project by our 1st anniversary

The constant promises of low cost housing, through the years and the disappointment of those who cannot qualify for a mortgage to buy house and land packages has been heard. What is the plan? To empower the people who work tirelessly by creating a housing model everyone can afford, but to give priority to low income individuals, households and families.

29/01/2022

The Philip J. Pierre Administration promised to put Saint Lucian's First and they are continuing with this mandate. Slowly but surely. In the coming months we will begin to see what Low Cost Housing, Affordable Housing, looks like. Continue to watch this space.

The importance of housing to man remains an unquestionable fact; that housing is second to food. Approximately twenty percent (20%) of St. Lucia’s population live in deplorable conditions where people suffer from one or more of the following basic deficiencies in their housing: lack of access to improved sewage facilities (not even an outhouse); access to pipe borne water; living in overcrowded conditions; living in buildings that are structurally unsound and inhumane, thereby increasing their vulnerability to natural disasters. This is manifested and compounded by the proliferation of unplanned settlements.
