UWI Penal-Debe Campus Renovation Work Progressing

Minister of Tertiary Education and Skills Training Professor Prakash Persad says renovation work on the UWI Penal-Debe South Campus is progressing, despite significant deterioration of the facility after it remained idle for nearly a decade under the previous administration.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, he assured that efforts are being made to complete the project as quickly as possible, despite what he described as a substantial setback.

“The Debe Campus renovation works are continuing, as anything that has been idle for ten years was abandoned for ten years, so a lot of solid infrastructure needed rejuvenation again, so that it why there is a delay, but it is going ahead as fast as possible, as I said before, and the opening date will be announced at the right time.”
