New project to improve students self esteem launched - TrakkerNews

Bridgetown.

A programme aimed? at improving the self esteem of school children in Barbados was launched recently by the Commission for Pan African Affairs with a visit by a group of students of the Lester Vaughan Secondary School to the Supreme Court, and a meeting with Chief Justice Sir Marston Gibson.

Acting Deputy Director of the Commission Anthony Reid told Trakker News the visit to the Supreme Court and the meeting with the Chief Justice was strategic.

"We felt that bringing the students into an control environment would one way of showing them life is not about the behaviours that they would tend to exhibit at school. The other thing was to expose them to strong prominent black men people who have achieved, who come from a background very similar to theirs to show them that they can overcome any obstacle and with self discipline and focus,they too can achieve", says Reid.

He explained that the programme is a pilot project and hopefully by the next school year it will be finetuned and be in a number of schools. ?
