Former United Progressive Party Senator and former Bar Association President Lenworth Johnson has graduated from the University of the West Indies (Global Campus) with a Doctor of Education (EdD) degree.
Johnson, who is an Attorney-at-Law, stated that he was happy to graduate from the regional university with an education degree particularly since his mother, Ada May Johnson, deceased, had been an educator for over 50 years. Johnson dedicated his degree to her.
Asked what he plans to do with his new qualifications, Johnson said that he is unsure at this time, however he is sure opportunities will arise.
The five-year course covered all aspects of education from lesson plans to Financial Planning and Management of Educational Institutions to Leadership in Higher Education.
Mr Johnson took the opportunity to reinforce the adage that education is for your whole life, not just during one’s formative years, and that citizens can achieve anything once they put their minds to it.
