On Tuesday, May 15, 2012 the Education Cluster of the 50|50 Research Project being spearheaded by the Sir Arthur Lewis Institute of Social and Economic Studies at the University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona will be hosting a symposium on The Financing of Education at the Primary and Secondary Levels. 

The main presenter will be Dr. Peter-John Gordon, Lecturer in the

His presentation will then be critiqued by a panel consisting of other researchers and practitioners  who will bring their own experiences to bear on the discussions. The wider audience will then be asked to participate in the  discussions which will follow the panel's contribution.

This event will commence at 2:00 p.m. and will be held in GLT 1, Sir Alister McIntyre Building which is located beside the Faculty of Law main block, at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus.
