Higher education is described as any of the various types of education given in post secondary institutions of learning and usually affording, at the end of a course of study, a named degree, diploma, or certificate of higher studies. Higher- educational institutions include not only universities and colleges but also various professional schools. The Department of Education in Saint Lucia continue to engender greater interest in higher education and is happy to report that in recent years there has been an increase in Saint Lucians pursuing such. Among the department’s many initiatives is #educatesaintlucia a concept aimed at creating interventions for students who find securing a good education beyond their means.
