The University of the West Indies (UWI) Five Islands will be reviewing its degree programmes in an effort to improve the school’s attractiveness to males.
The Director of Academic Affairs at the Antigua-based campus, Dr Curtis Charles, said a lot of young men like to use their hands and he also sees avenues to explore degrees in the field of gaming and animation.
“We are looking at a programme review internally right now, and then also taking that as a real anchor, in terms of what type of degree programmes do we need to have to encourage young men,” he said.
Veteran official says referees are overworked and burnt out due to low numbers

A veteran football referee and former player,
Audwin Walsh, believes that a lack of adequate referees have led to the burnout of the few FIFA qualified officials the country has produced over the years.
Walsh, a former president of the Antigua and Barbuda Football Referees Association (ABFRA), said those referees who would have graduated to the FIFA list are often left with no other option than to officiate in two or three times the amount of matches they should on a weekly basis, simply because there is not enough manpower to consistently cover the FA’s weekly schedule.
