A bold initiative aimed at rescuing less academically inclined students from the pitfalls of life after graduation was launched on Wednesday (September 26, 2007) at the C. C. Sweeting Senior School.
Twenty-five 12th graders – all boys – have been recruited for the Work-Based Learning Programme which begins on Tuesday, October 2, 2007 and will continue until May 2008, when the students return to school full-time to prepare for examinations.
Under the programme, the students are expected to be at various businesses three days each week and at school on Mondays and Fridays.
C. C. Sweeting’s Principal Delores Ingraham said this is a pilot effort and whether it continues in ensuing years will depend on its initial success.
