- Adult learners
will be prepared for Certification through this medium,
while their certification examination will be executed
at the Antigua Evening Institute of Training.
- The public
electronic media will be utilized in effecting Community
Education. The Communities of this nation will be oriented
to the belief that education is central to their hopes
for the future, and that quality education is in their
interest. ABS will be used to impact community operations
in positive ways assisting the people by adding systematically
to their knowledge, improving their reasoning, enabling
them to search out causes and predict effects, while helping
them form a scale of values. The goal of this community
education will be to make people more competent to govern
their lives. It will also stir their consciences as citizens,
concerned about the course of other people's lives, possessing
some rational notion of what the good life entails and
about the kind of society that would give them the best
chance of pursuing it.
