Securing a scholarship was Kevon Waller's only shot at tertiary education due to financial struggles that stemmed from as early as primary school. He applied for a Chinese Government scholarship to study nursing and was shortlisted. But heartbreakingly, he missed his interview because of a failing Internet connection in his Above Rocks, St Catherine community. With his father being absent, he struggled through high school with his mother, and so, missing the interview, he began to pine at what would be his next step. Then the following week, to his surprise, he was given another opportunity to complete his interview and he did so at a friend's house for better connectivity. The 21-year-old knocked it out of the park and secured a full scholarship to study at Tongji University in Shanghai, China. Having gone through so much to get to this point, the most unexpected obstacle has presented itself. Waller just needs one device for his online classes. After asking around for help to source one, he was loaned a tablet. “Eventually, the owner will be requiring their device in a few weeks' time." Anyone willing to assist Waller can do so by sending donations to the following bank account: Kevon Waller First Global Bank Limited Manor Park Branch Account number: 990828660009 Read more in today's #DailyObserver or follow the link in @jamaicaobserver IG story #chinesescholarships #studyabroad #jamaicanstudyabroad #scholarshipjamaica #scholarshipfunding #chinagovernmentscholarships (at ScholarshipJamaica.com) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW2jtuyrc3f/?utm_medium=tumblr

Howard University has announced it will be shutting down its classics department as part of its educational “prioritisation” initiative to cut costs in the wake of the novel coronavirus health pandemic. This move by the leading historically black university in the United States has been roundly criticised, especially by intellectuals who feel studying the classics — works by the great thinkers of antiquity such as Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, Archimedes, Pythagoras, Cato, Cicero, and others of that ilk — is a prerequisite to being a well-rounded educated person.
