College of Excellence launches multi-course programmes
The College of Excellence, Management and Business (C.E.M.B.) in collaboration with Critchlow Labour College has launched its ABE Endorsed and Awards, High School Diploma in Matriculation Studies (Grade 9/CSEC Level, English, Mathematics, Law, Principles of Business, Accounts, and Management).
The aim is to put young and matured students who do not have CSEC or good grades, on a path to university and/or the world of works.
The principal of the institution, Dr. Stanley A. V. Paul, says that the institution recognises the fact that there is a segment of students who exit the Secondary Schools’ Systems prematurely or at Grade Nine without any formal qualifications or good grades at CSEC, every year.
“We have decided to develop this high school diploma and got ABE-UK, involved to give the qualification local and international recognition,” Dr Paul said.
“Moreover, not being satisfied with ABE’s Endorsement, alone, though same is adequate for the purpose, we wrote to the Ministry of Education and Public Service and asked them to recognise the qualification as a result of which they did a comparative study of its curriculum and quality assurance of delivery that culminating in them formally recognising the qualification as a Grade Nine Exit Qualification,” he added.
Deliberate efforts were also made to recruit lecturers from Queen’s College and President’s College who are not only CPCE-trained and qualified with good grades in the respective subject areas for which they were recruited to teach but also have degrees, in them as well.
He added, “Because the qualification is awarded by ABE-UK. Students can seamlessly transition over to ABE level four/level five Diploma or matriculate straight into a Bachelor’s degree programme from one of ABE’s hundreds of affiliated universities”.
Students also have the option to write four of CSEC subjects or be qualified for an entry-level job in the public and private sector.
The College of Excellence Management and Business prides itself in striking balance between Access to Education and Quality of Education via offering and delivering, accredited, accessible and affordable, world-class education and training, in student-centered classrooms.
