BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, Guardian - THERE has been a major shift in financing the education of Barbadians attending the University of the West Indies (UWI). Finance and Economic Affairs Minister, Christopher Sinckler, made the announcement yesterday that from September next year Barbadians will be called on to pay tuition fees at the UWI. Delivering his Budgetary proposals against the background of some harsh economic conditions facing Barbados, Sinckler said that due to exploding costs of university education, it has now become necessary to ask students attending and desirous of attending UWI to contribute to their education in a more direct manner.
