The Adult Education Division is today highlighting the creativity and accomplishments of learners from across Dominica at its annual Skills Exhibition. The event is being held at the Division’s office at 22 Kennedy Avenue in Roseau, bringing together students, tutors and members of the public for a day of demonstrations and displays.
The exhibition serves as a platform for adult learners to present the practical skills they have developed through the Division’s programmes, which range from literacy and numeracy to vocational and life skills training. It is one of the key public events on the Division’s calendar, offering participants the opportunity to show the results of their work to family, friends and the wider community.
Officials of the Division have described the annual showcase as an important moment for adult education in Dominica, recognising the dedication of learners who often balance their studies with work and family responsibilities. The event also allows the Division to promote its services and encourage other adults who may be considering returning to the classroom.
The exhibition is expected to feature a variety of displays, including craft items, culinary presentations and other practical projects completed by learners over the course of the year. Visitors will have the chance to interact with students and tutors, learn about the programmes on offer, and see firsthand the progress being made in adult education across the island.
The Adult Education Division operates under the Ministry of Education and has long played a role in providing second-chance learning opportunities for Dominican adults. Its programmes are designed to meet the needs of learners at different levels, from those seeking to improve basic reading and writing skills to those pursuing certification in specific trades.
Members of the public are invited to visit the exhibition during the day to support the learners and to learn more about how the Division can assist adults seeking to further their education. The event underscores the Division’s commitment to lifelong learning and its contribution to the social and economic development of the Commonwealth of Dominica.
