Saint Lucian students awarded medical scholarships had to be brought home because of existing conditions in Venezuela.
The Ministry of Education, Innovation, Gender Relations and Sustainable Development wishes to advise the general public that Saint Lucian students who were awarded scholarships to pursue medical degrees in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela had to be brought home by the Government of Saint Lucia because of existing conditions in Venezuela.
The welfare of our students at any educational institution is priority for the Government of Saint Lucia. The government is exploring alternative options, and once the students satisfy the matriculation requirements of an accredited university, these students will be able to pursue higher education.
