Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Professor Pierre Gomez, Minister of Higher Education has informed that public that government has already allocated land for the construction of the new University of Applied Science, Engineering and Technology campus. Prof. Gomez made the announcement during his visit to the new University of Applied Science, Engineering and Technology (USET) office.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile construction is being done, the procurement of equipment and furniture will be provided. This visit forms part of the familiarization visits to different line institutions under the Ministry\u2019s purview. The primary objective is to have first-hand information on their operations, developments and challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonourable Minister, Prof. Gomez is certain that after the construction of the University of Applied Science, Engineering and Technology is completed, students and lecturers will have enough space and facilities that will make teaching and learning effective and efficient,\u201d the higher education ministry said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Prof. Gomez assured that the government of The Gambia is ready to make sure the youth of this country are given the right skills, which in turn will address the unemployment rate and curb irregular migration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe youth are taking the deserts and Mediterranean seas. They need to be given hope to stay,\u201d said Prof. Gomez, adding that the Ministry is making plans to have Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Centres available in each region across The Gambia. Currently, especially in the North Bank of the country, there is no public TVET institution. This is about to change, he assured.<\/p>\n

As par the Minister, the country needs to graduate from hiring non-Gambians to be doing our work. Instead, we need to bread skilled technicians who will build the foundation. This is why the mandate of USET is very important as it will train students in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and civil engineering.<\/p>\n

He recognized the support of partners such as the World Bank towards the transformation of GTTI\/USET into an emerging Center Of Excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering and Entrepreneurship \u2013 (STEE).<\/p>\n

The Minister guarantees the support of MoHERST in the recruitment of qualified professors who will train the best technicians. \u201cWe have to change the stereotype, so that the best goes to TVET\u201d said, Hon. Prof. Gomez.<\/p>\n
