Chinese educational help evenly spread – PM
PM Skerrit Educational help for Dominican students from the Chinese government has been evenly spread around the country, according to Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit. He told a prize giving ceremony of winners of the essay competition “China in my Eyes” on Thursday night that almost every village in Dominica has or has had one student studying in China. “In looking at the students who have been to China, and those who are presently students there, and those who will be going there in September, we recognize that almost every if not every village in Dominica has had the opportunity to have at least one student studying in China,” the prime minister said.
DNO Poll: Should PM Roosevelt Skerrit make public, in full, the 2004 MOU with China?
Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit promised recently that Cabinet would examine the issue of whether the government should disclose fully, the memorandum of understanding (MOU) that Dominica signed with China when the two countries entered into diplomatic relations in 2004. PM Skerrit appears to have since taken no action on the matter, explaining recently that the government was busy doing its work when reminded about his promise on the MOU. Many bloggers on Dominica News Online have at one time or another called for full disclosure of the MOU. Others contend that agreements with other countries have not been the subject of public scrutiny, and the Dominica/China agreement should also fall into that category
