(PLTM) - Following stiff competition, the Elmore Stoutt High School (ESHS) won $10,000.00 as the champions of the Recovery and Development Plan Competition for secondary schools.
The event was held last evening, February 20, at the New Testament Church of God International Worship Centre in Baughers Bay.
Bregado Flax Educational Centre Secondary Division came in second place, winning $5,000.00.
The competition provided the students with the opportunity to lend their voices to the proposed development process of the Territory.
Students were judged on innovation, demonstrated creativity and originality of their plan/idea; viability of their plan; quality of their presentation and clarity of ideas; and implementation feasibility.
The other schools which competed in the competition were Claudia Creque Educational Centre, Virgin Islands School of Technical Studies, Cedar International School, and Seventh-Day Adventist School.
ESHS plan will now be used as the model document that will see all participants of the competition coming together to further perfect that plan before it is presented to Hon. Myron Walwyn, Minister of Education and Culture.
The Minister will then present it to Premier and Minister of Finance, Hon. Dr. D. Orlando Smith for consideration in the final recovery plan for the Territory.
