His Excellency Peter Chia-yen Chen, Taiwan’s Ambassador to Saint Lucia, told the 29 awardees to use the opportunity to improve their professional skills and explore and experience Taiwan’s culture. He also encouraged them to be thankful to those who made it all possible.
Hon. Shawn Edward, Minister for Education, Sustainable Development, Innovation, Science, Technology and Vocational Training, the Parliamentary Secretary Hon. Dr. Pauline Antoine-Prospere and the Permanent Secretary Michelle Charles of the Ministry of Education made encouraging and inspiring remarks in the ceremony, and thanked the Government of Taiwan for its continued support of Saint Lucia’s development, even as Saint Lucia and the rest of the world deal with the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This year, 143 Saint Lucians applied for the scholarships and 29 students were awarded. They are following in the footsteps of other Saint Lucian students who have finished their studies in Taiwan.
