Former public service college to house gov’t scholarship secretariat

The Bertram Collins College of Public Service which was shut down recently is set to be used as a secretariat for the government’s scholarship programmes.

This was disclosed during the recent consideration of estimates for the 2021 national budget at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre. Minister of Public Service, Sonia Parag, made the announcement.

Parag said that the site of the previous College of Public Service is now being used to house the government’s 20,000 online scholarships programme which she said will commence shortly. Former Public Service Minister Tabitha Sarabo-Halley questioned Parag about scholarships which the minister had announced previously.
