The morning comprised educational talks, motivational and career speeches, and other activities.
This Open Day event, approved by the Ministry of Education, showcased the courses available in the BA in Literatures in English programme, exposing secondary school students to the ways in which these courses can be combined with other academic programmes and the possible career paths that a degree in Literatures in English can offer. Our aim, too, was to generate students’ interest in pursuing a higher degree in Literatures in English at The University of the West Indies, St Augustine.
