In the academic year, 2015/2016, there were 530 students enrolled in the Faculty – 344 continuing and 72 new first time, representing a 28% and 10% drop For the 2015/2016 academic year, the student intake for all undergraduate degree respectively when compared to the previous academic year. This persistent downward programmes in the Faculty of Humanities and Education was 530. This represented trend which intensified from the previous year saw an enrolment of 478 continuing and an 18% and 49% decline in enrolment from the 2014/2015 and 2013/2014 academic 80 new students. This continued to be a direct result of the Government’s 2014 decision years respectively. This trend was apparent in both part-time and full-time student to sponsor students’ economic cost only, and thus requiring them to pay their own registrations. A significant increase was however noted in the registration for Study tuition fees. What is evident from the statistics is that for the coming years, the Faculty Abroad and Occasional or Specially Admitted students, with a total of 74 registrations would need to increase its efforts and find new initiatives and innovative ways to reverse in 2015/16 compared to 14 in the previous academic year. Table 1A shows a comparative this trend. Within this dire context, we will continue to make tireless efforts to increase distribution of undergraduate student registrations by Programme. the viability of our programmes and activities. Table 1A: Undergraduate Registration by Programme In 2015-2016, faculty continued to improve their pedagogical skills.

Bharrat Jagdeo General Editors: David Dabydeen & Lynne Macedo Consulting Editor: Ian McDonald 3 4 SERIES PREFACE Modern Guyana came into being, in the Western imagination, through the travelogue of Sir Walter Raleigh, The Discoverie of Guiana (1595). Raleigh was as beguiled by Guiana’s landscape (“I never saw a more beautiful country...”) as he was by the prospect of plunder (“every stone we stooped to take up promised either gold or silver by his complexion”). Raleigh’s contemporaries, too, were doubly inspired, writing, as Thoreau says, of Guiana’s “majestic forests”, but also of its earth, “resplendent with gold.” By the eighteenth century, when the trade in Africans was in full swing, writers cared less for Guiana’s beauty than for its mineral wealth. Sugar was the poet’s muse, hence the epic work by James Grainger The Sugar Cane (1764), a poem which deals with subjects such as how best to manure the sugar cane plant, the most effective diet for the African slaves, worming techniques, etc.

In the first four months of the year, the country recorded a 24 percent decrease in most categories of criminal activity. Impacted by the global recession, a sluggish economy, and serious crime, the tourism industry continued to see declines in arrivals and revenue. Central government debt rose to 96 percent of GDP in October 2014. The island nation currently uses more than 15 percent of government revenues to service its debt. Political Rights and Civil Liberties: Political Rights: 40 / 40 [Key] A.

The prime minister is appointed by the governor general and is usually the leader of the political party with a majority in the House of Assembly. Legislative elections were held in February 2013. In a narrow win, the ruling Democratic Labour Party (DLP) won 16 of 30 seats in the House of Assembly. The Barbados Labour Party (BLP), under former prime minister Owen Arthur, took the remaining 14 seats. B. Political Pluralism and Participation: 16 / 16 Political parties are free to organize.

    Barbadian Bio-cultural Heritage: an Analysis of the Flying Fish Janice A. Cumberbatch Catrina J. Hinds Vol.8 2013 International Journal of Intangible Heritage 117 The Flying Fish Barbadian Bio-cultural Heritage: an Analysis of the Flying Fish Janice Cumberbatch Lecturer, Centre for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES), The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, Barbados Catrina Hinds Natural Resource and Environmental Management,The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, Barbados ABSTRACT The flying fish is a tangible species, but to Barbados it is a quintessential aspect of intangible heritage: a symbol of Barbadian pride and industry – the country’s motto. It adorns the silver dollar coin and is on the logo of the Barbados Tourism Authority. Barbados has its own unique ways of preparing and cooking the flying fish, and it is part of the national cuisine. But the availability of the species is at risk, as are its associated traditions, and there is no regulatory framework to protect this icon of national heritage. It is threatened by a maritime boundary and fisheries dispute, it struggles under the legacy of price controls that hamper the profitability of the fishing industry, it is uncertain whether there will still be people to harvest the species in the next fifty years, there is a significant variability in abundance which could affect the accessibility of flying fish to Barbadians, and climate change could lead to the local extinction of flying fish. So should the flying fish continue to be the leading icon of Barbados? Although not a unanimous decision, the majority of Barbadians surveyed felt that the flying fish should be preserved as part of the island’s heritage.

Barbados has continuously incurred debt, from international financing institutions such as the International Monetary Fund, since its independence from Great Britain in 1966. As of 2017, the estimated national debt of Barbados is $7.92 billion (USD).1 Sir Hillary Beckles, Michael Howard, and other economic experts and professors at the University of the West Indies, believe the country has gone into debt for a variety of different reasons.

In this critical passage of our history, the Social Partnership has played a vital role. We have committed to a voyage for love of country and we must see it through. We must stay the course. Much progress has been made. Important points along the way have been seen and passed. The IMF’s approval of the Barbados Economic Recovery and Transformation Plan; the domestic debt restructuring and a budget surplus. But, trust me, everyone knows we cannot rebuild in 10 months what they destroyed in 10 years. And even as we embark on this path, we have been beset by some major challenges, led of course by the issue of gun-related violence. It is a scourge we will not ignore or tolerate and we have already begun taking steps to counter. We must and we will do all in our power to save your young people. And the international background today has made the task harder than ever before. Brexit has curbed the enthusiasm for travel from our largest source market. The OECD has forced us to abandon a 30-year old separation of tax rates between international and local business.
