 Principals from both schools signed a three-year Educational Cooperation MOU in June of 2020. Since then, teachers from both schools have been meeting regularly online to share teaching experiences. The twinning brings two schools which have significant value to their jurisdictions. The Gutting Elementary School is one of the top elementary schools in Taiwan, while the Gordon at Walcott Memorial Methodist is one of St. Lucia's oldest institutions. Ambassador of Taiwan to St. Lucia, His Excellency Peter Shen, says the initiative encourages vibrant exchanges for pushing productive people-to-people connection between Taiwan and St. Lucia, which he says is the main mission of his embassy. Gordon and Walcott Memorial Methodist School is one of the seven pioneer schools under Taiwan's ICT in Education Project in St. Lucia, and is encouraging to see the school through these three years have made good advantage of digital device to improve students' performance and create valuable experiences. And so does Gutting Elementary School on its development of online learning and digital education. Minister for Education, Sustainable Development, Innovation, Science, Technology and Vocational Training Honorable Sean Edward called on students of the Gordon and Walcott Memorial Methodist to let their appreciation for the Taiwanese initiative show through their overall performance in school. You are a very special group of children. In St. Lucia, we have over 25,000 school children in this country. From Viufort in the south to Grosily in the north. We have over 25,000 students. And this morning, we have chosen you to be the students who can engage your peers in Taiwan through this virtual lesson. So you are very, very special and you will continue to be special because the government of St. Lucia is spending a lot of money, millions of dollars, to give you an improved school environment. So next year, when I come here and we look at the results and the end of tomb grids, you have no excuse. I'm expecting great things from you. Chief Education Officer Fiona Meyer expressed her many thanks for the opportunity to collaborate with Taiwan once again to help share experiences and the cultures through modern technology within the education system. We're able to exchange ideas, to learn from each other because they will learn from you because you have information to share with them. You have the correct attitudes. There are skills that you know that you will share with them and similarly they will share with you. The Gordon and Walcott was joined by students and the teachers of the gutting elementary school from Taiwan with 12 hours apart. The Taiwan students participated in a lesson exchange just moments before going to bed. Technology is now such an important tool for teaching and learning. However, one of the setbacks is limited access to devices and the skills to effectively incorporate the use of ICT into the curriculum. We are so appreciative of this ICT in education project and its immense value in serving as a timely support to transition into the online modality due to the pandemic. The teachers of the Gordon and Walcott Memorial Methodist participated in workshops designed to facilitate their utilization of e-books within the classroom and for twinning exercises between the two schools.
