Education Minister Fayval Williams has indicated that by month’s end, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will be signed with the Caribbean School of Medical Sciences Jamaica (CSMSJ).

The MOU is to provide scholarships for needy students.

Mrs. Williams gave the Ministry’s commitment at the CSMSJ’s white coat ceremony on the weekend.  

During the ceremony, 19 students were presented with white coats and will move on to do clinical work in public hospitals over the next 2 years.

Mrs Williams encouraged the students to continue excelling in their chosen field.

She added that the school’s specialized academic programmes are advancing STEM education in Jamaica and that the Ministry wants to continue working with the CSMSJ to promote these.

The school, which was founded in  2014, has 65 students on roll.
