Africa-Press – Cape verde. The education minister, Amadeu Cruz, believes that the start of higher education, in Santo Antão, from October, will reverse the massive departure of young people from the island.
Speaking to Inforpress, Amadeu Cruz said that the entry into operation, from the academic year 2022/23, of the Higher Institute of Agricultural Sciences and Technologies, of Santo Antão (ISCTA-SA) can, indeed, reverse “the trend of migration mass of young people” from Santantoine towards other islands.
Therefore, in his view, “it is desirable that the inhabitants of Santanto collaborate in promoting the first higher education courses” on this island, to be taught by the Universidade Técnica do Atlântico, through ISCTA-SA.
However, the public presentation of the training offer of ISCTA-SA, initially scheduled for this Wednesday, was postponed to “a date to be indicated”, according to a note, without advancing the reasons for the postponement.
The training offer of this institute includes, in the first year of operation, the degrees in Agricultural Engineering and Zootechnical Engineering.
