Dear Editor,
Now that Cabinet has made the decision to merge the police force, hopefully it will be renamed Jamaica Constabulary Service. It is time for our policymakers to start the process towards integrating the teachers' colleges, Kingston School of Nursing, HEART Trust colleges, etc to establish the National University of Jamaica (NUJAM). Over time it would become a comprehensive, research-based university with varied disciplines.
Maybe the Goodyear factory in St Thomas could be converted to the NUJAM's School of Math, Computer Science & Engineering, and other locations identified on which to site campuses across the island.
Maybe I am overly optimistic, however, in addition to this I believe transforming the College of Agriculture, Science and Education to Jamaica Agricultural and Technical University — a comprehensive university that would help to inspire and give recognition to those who choose such career paths.
Integrate the programme so we can reap the biggest results.
