School
children sensitised on the prospects of an environmental career
Students from the Anse Royale Secondary School were given a careers
guidance talk on the prospects of pursuing a career in the environmental
field during a recent talk (July 2003) conducted by two of the
Ministry of Environment's officers Mr. Alain De Comarmond and
Mr. Rodney Quatre. The activity attracted a lot of interest on
the part of the students. The students were briefed on the organization
of the Ministry, the work of the different divisions and sections,
and the qualifications or background one needs to work within
the Ministry.
The
talk was then followed by a short field demonstration, in which
the students participated, on how to go about measuring beach
profiles. The students were briefed also on the necessity of such
an exercise and the beach monitoring programme which is now in
place. The Ministry welcomes similar requests from other schools
and educational institutions to conduct such talks in the future.
