Saint Lucian Students gear up for National Schools Science Fair

Wednesday, March 7, 2007 – Organizers of the National Schools Science Fair are hoping that this year's activity will stimulate and cultivate the creative and analytical capacities of young minds, in the field of science and technology. Schools at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels are expected to participate in the fair scheduled for the 29th to the 31st of March. The fair is being organized by the St. Lucia National Commission for UNESCO in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, and is in keeping with the newly revised concept, of facilitating a partnership approach. This approach will see the business community and the schools working together to create innovative and original projects. According to Motielall Singh, Curriculum Specialist for Natural Science, “ The fair will renew students' interest in science, mathematics and technology, in order to provide them with a broader appreciation of the world around them, and the role of science and technology in the sustainable development of St. Lucia.”

The fair is also expected to create a greater understanding of issues such as global warming, pollution and water shed management. Organizers are hoping to make it an annual event on the schools calender of activities. Funding for this year's science fair has been secured under UNESCO's Participation Program Request, 2006-2007 Biennium.
