The Guardian Media Group is the largest in T&T and we have been sending journalists abroad for many years for specialised training.

“With the growth of the Guardian School of Journalism which will look at all arms of the media, it will be a huge development for the growth of the media in video, print and voice,” he said.

Sabga spoke on Monday at the signing ceremony for a Memorandum of Understanding between UWI and the ANSA McAL Group at the 10th Floor, Tatil Building, Maraval Road, Port-of-Spain.

ANSA McAL Group will fund the construction of a building that will house three schools, the ANSA McAL Psycho-logical Research Centre, the Anthony N Sabga School of Entrepreneurship, and the Guardian Media School of Journalism.

Sabga hopes that the School of Entrepreneurship will go beyond just producing executives but will produce executives who can run businesses efficiently.
