The Government of the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) has turned to The UWI to aid its process of reforming its national education and labour sectors to build the human capacity of its people.

In August 2023, The Honourable Charles Washington Misick, Premier of the Turks and Caicos Islands, and his team, met with Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sir Hilary Beckles and members of the University’s Executive Management Team.

A high priority will be placed on improving access and efficiency in learning within the TCI education sector. The talks centred on collaboration with the University Hospital of the West Indies to facilitate nursing programmes for students from the TCIC, including internship placements and housing accommodation, as well as joint degree programmes in areas like primary and secondary education, business studies, and social work.

The visit of the TCI Government delegation significantly builds on a deepening relationship with The UWI.
