A College with strong global academic capabilities and credentials.

Dear Editor,

Queen’s College recently celebrated its 180th year in existence. The Attorney General reminded us in a Facebook post that everywhere QC existed something important stood in its place afterwards such as the High Court and the Ministry of Health. A reflection of the high number of Lawyers, Magistrates and Doctors that QC has produced? One would be inclined to think so. QC has also produced most of the Ministers and Presidents in our country’s history.

Going forward, as we embark on the pursuit of the knowledge economy, we must also embrace the opportunity to take QC to the next level and allow it to become our nation’s first globally accredited College. Not in competition with the University of Guyana, but as a complement to it. A place where College level courses may be pursued after A-Levels or Advanced Level Qualifications. A place where QC has a seamless partnership with the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford, the London School of Economics, an Ivy League University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A partnership that can be leveraged to obtain credits towards a first degree and ultimately earn a degree upon a new QC College campus. A partnership that enables research and development, and builds the capabilities necessary to add value in the future.

The knowledge economy relies heavily on state-of-the-art technology, skills and innovation. Where new ideas are more valuable than the current products in the market and our natural resources. The talent within the QC compound should be exposed to the world of Artificial Intelligence, the programming capabilities needed and the new technology that is driving the robotics of the future. They should be exposed to the financial thinking that is driving market growth, the legal thinking that is making the world safer and the medical thinking that is helping us live healthier lives.

The energy around the 180th Anniversary of QC is inspirational, and we should capitalize on the regained momentum at our nation’s top school to set a path towards our 200th anniversary. A path that sees Queen’s College evolve into an institution that reflects its name, its history and the talent within its halls. CRG encourages the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Education, the President and his Cabinet to lay out a strategy that is supported financially and academically to help QC transition into our Nation’s first Globally accredited College. A College with strong global academic capabilities and credentials.

Best regards,
Mr. Jamil Changlee
