SPEAKER in the Chair] GLORIA THOMASOS-POLLARD (DEATH OF) Mr. Speaker: Hon. Members, since the last sitting of this honourable House, it has come to my notice that a former Member of this House has died, and this person is Gloria Thomasos-Pollard. She had served in this House for a five-year period and her father had been the former longest serving Speaker in this Parliament. I thought that I should just bring this to the notice of hon. Members who may care to express condolences. The Minister of Housing and Settlements (Hon. John Humphrey): Mr. Speaker, anyone who has been in political life for as long as I have been would have known Arnold Thomasos when he was Speaker of this House. Those who, in fact, were in this House when he presided as Speaker would have known that he did not tolerate nonsense; he was a very strict Speaker. We could only judge that, as a parent, he would have been as strict and added to the strictness would have been the principle of love for his child. I had the advantage of knowing the late Gloria Thomasos-Pollard because I served for a while in the government in which she was involved. I must say that my knowledge of her late father and herself confirm, in fact, what I started saying that Gloria did manifest discipline, friendliness, and strictness, but she was a delightful person and all of us have fond memories of our association with her and also with her late father.

  • Administration's Perception About the Feasibility of Elearning Practices At
    International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology (IJEDICT), 2015, Vol. 11, Issue 2, pp. 65-84 Administration’s perception about the feasibility of elearning practices at the University of Guyana Kerwin A. Livingstone University of Guyana, Guyana ABSTRACT Since the genesis of technology, some decades ago, the use of information and communication technologies in educational practices has been steadily increasing. In educational institutions, some form of elearning has been adopted. All over the world, in both developed and developing countries, many universities have embraced this alternative and exciting form of education delivery to enhance the pedagogical practices of their institutions, in order to cater for student learning diversity, and to bridge the geographical gap, making education accessible to all. Since elearning seems to be the catalyst to promote revolutionary instructional practices, the University of Guyana, still largely adopting a traditional approach to learning and teaching, finds itself in a peculiar situation. Taking into consideration the afore-mentioned, this study is based on the perception of the University of Guyana’s administrative body about the feasibility of elearning practices at that institution. Using a mixed methods approach, the University’s administrators were sampled purposively, by means of an online survey. The data were analysed empirically and the results show that while there is room for development, regarding educational practices, the University’s administration generally believes that elearning practices are feasible and should be embraced, once key issues for their adoption are addressed. Recommendation is made for university-wide incorporation of elearning practices. Keywords: elearning; elearning practices; technology; ICT/ICTs; administrators; administration; technology-based education; higher education.

  • Opening Adress of Bertrand Ramcharan, Acting United Nations
    Opening Adress of Bertrand Ramcharan, Acting United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights At a Conference organized by the International Commission of Jurists Geneva, 23 October, 2003 The subject we have come here today to discuss is indeed an important and topical one: human rights, counter-terrorism, and international monitoring systems. I am pleased to be with you on this occasion and greet you warmly on behalf of all my colleagues in the Office of High Commissioner for Human Rights. Having been a Commissioner of the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) before becoming a United Nations human rights Commissioner, you will understand my pleasure and gratitude, that this conference is being organized by the ICJ, with whom we have had a long and fruitful partnership for human rights going back for years. Some years ago, the ICJ did an important study on human rights and states of emergency and, more recently, it has done an important study on human rights and terrorism. The ICJ has thus made foundation contributions to the topics of interest to us today for which we are all grateful. I should like, in these opening remarks, to take each of the topics of our conference in turn: human rights, counter-terrorism, and international monitoring systems. First, human rights. What are the considerations that should be in our minds today as we commence this conference? It would be important, I believe, to remind ourselves of the international code of human rights that all Governments are pledged to live by. Can one say that the basic norms of international human rights law are in fact influencing all countries and that they are seeking in good faith to implement those norms? Many countries are indeed striving, in sometimes difficult circumstances, to follow the human rights path.

  • Geneva, June 16Th, 2003 Bertrand Ramcharan Deputy High
    Geneva, June 16th, 2003 Bertrand Ramcharan Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights United Nations Geneva, Switzerland RE: Human Rights and the World Summit on the Information Society Your Excellency Mr. Bertrand Ramcharan, The under-signed civil society organizations strongly encourage your active participation in the preparatory committee and summit meeting of the World Summit on the Information Society, taking place in September and December 2003, respectively. Human rights are an essential requirement of the Information Society, as elaborated in the draft declaration of the WSIS (WSIS/PCIP/DT/1-E): 10. The essential requirements for the development of an equitable Information Society include: The respect for all internationally recognized human rights and fundamental freedoms. Notably the right to freedom of opinion and expression, including the right to hold opinions without interference and seek to, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers in accordance with article 19 of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and to unhindered access by individuals to communication media and information sources… As the United Nations highest human rights official, your good offices are needed to ensure that human rights language in the WSIS process is comprehensive, strong and consistent with resolutions and decisions adopted by the Commission on Human Rights and build upon human rights language developed through the various UN world summits and conferences. Civil society organizations view ICTs as having both tremendous applications that enhance human rights, such as through the rapid dissemination of action alerts and instant access to human rights information, and disturbing capacities to greatly diminish human rights, such as by providing governments with means enabling intrusive surveillance and monitoring and therefore, repression.
