available: metal work, plumbing, carpentry, electrical and mechanical studies, and business and commercial education.
4. Students who are unable to enter our sole secondary school because of inadequate classroom space receive secondary education at Anguilla's Evening Institute. This facility is also available to adults. Consideration is now being given to the introduction of junior secondary education in the next two years.
Right to higher education
5. No measures have been taken to make higher and/or tertiary education available in Anguilla. The University of the West Indies satisfies this need.
However, the
cost of this type of education is extremely prohibitive, and consequently it is only accessible to a relatively few Anguillians. The cost for this training is provided by United Kingdom, and, to a limited extent, by Canada and the Commonwealth Fund for Technical Co-operation. This level of training is directly related to Anguilla's manpower development needs.
School system
