  • Official Complaint of the Lecturers at the Dominica State College (DSC)

    The issues facing lecturers, staff, and students at Dominica State College remain unresolved despite industrial action taken in May 2021 and agreements reached to address them. The key concerns include: ● Salary Adjustments ● Graduate lecturers at the State College earn less than graduate teachers at secondary schools. ● There has been no salary adjustment to account for inflation or to show a differential between tertiary and secondary school educators. ● Working Conditions - The automobile and mechanical engineer facilities remain in shambles. ● The campus has multiple leaking roofs. ● Bathrooms are in poor and unsanitary condition. - There are no dedicated washrooms for lecturers and staff on the lower campus, forcing them to share facilities with students. This has led to privacy concerns, including unlocked doors and student intrusions. ● Appointments - The position of College President remains unfilled. The current Officer-in-Charge is now serving a third six-month term without a clearly defined role. A permanent appointment must be made, or the position should be opened for applications. ● Many lecturers have served for over 16 years without being formally appointed. Despite discussions with the board and negotiations with the unions which agreed-upon solutions, none of these solutions have been fully implemented. Deadlines have been missed and commitments remain unfulfilled. As Lecturers and people of higher education, this situation is unacceptable. The Staff feel abandoned, and students are suffering as a result. It is time for decisive action to ensure that these long-standing issues are finally addressed.

  • Four Schools Advance to Semi-Finals of Inter-Secondary Schools Debating Competition

    The stage has been set, the arguments have been made, and after three days of intense intellectual battles, four schools have secured their places in the semi-finals of the 2025 Inter-Secondary School Debating Competition. Orion Academy, Dominica Grammar School (DGS), Portsmouth Secondary School (PSS), and Pierre Charles Secondary School (PCSS) are now one step closer to claiming the coveted championship title. This comes on the heels of a fiercely contested quarterfinal round last week, where students once again commanded the stage with their sharp debating skills. The competition kicked off on Wednesday, February 19, with defending champions Orion Academy facing off against Wesley High School (WHS) on the topic: “Beauty Pageants Are Outdated in a Modern Society Focused on Diversity and Inclusion.” The ladies of WHS passionately argued in favour of the motion, championing the need for representation beyond traditional beauty standards. Meanwhile, Orion Academy countered with well-structured points on the evolving nature of pageants and their continued relevance. In the end, Orion Academy’s Jazz Maxwell and Hafsah Francois emerged victorious, earning 636 points to WHS’s 520. While WHS did not advance, their debater Adore Defoe stole the spotlight, earning the title of Best Speaker for her compelling delivery and persuasive arguments. The next intellectual showdown took place on Thursday, February 20, where Dominica Grammar School (DGS) and St. Martin Secondary School (SMSS) debated whether: “The Government of Dominica Should Invest Heavily in Bouyon Music Now to Ensure Future Economic Benefits from the Genre.” Representing DGS, Rene Albert and Tzaddie Trocard passionately argued in favour of the motion, highlighting Bouyon’s potential to drive tourism and cultural identity. On the opposing side, SMSS questioned the practicality of such an investment. The judges were convinced by DGS’s case, awarding them a 636-515 victory. Trocard’s eloquence and poise earned him the Best Speaker award for this round. The final debate of the week, held on Friday, February 21, saw Pierre Charles Secondary School (PCSS) and Portsmouth Secondary School (PSS) go head-to-head over the motion: "During Festive Seasons in Dominica, There Should Be a 9 PM Curfew Imposed on Adolescents Below the Age of 18." Arguing in support of the curfew, PCSS, represented by Chenika Alexander and Myra Dover, laid out strong points on safety and responsibility. However, PSS, led by Maliah Ettienne and Roxanne Andre, delivered a compelling counterargument against restricting young people’s freedoms. The debate ended with PSS securing the win, 637-559. Ettienne’s commanding performance earned her the title of Best Speaker. While PCSS fell short, their spirited effort earned them a second chance—they will advance to the semi-finals as the school with the narrowest losing margin in this round. With the semi-finals set for March, the four remaining teams—Orion Academy, DGS, PSS, and PCSS—are gearing up for the next stage of competition. With a spot in the grand finals in April on the line, the stakes are higher than ever. This debating competition, revived just three years ago after a long hiatus, has become a beacon of intellectual growth for students across Dominica. Organized by Ms. Trudy Christian, Interim President of the Dominica State College (DSC), the event continues to thrive with the unwavering support of DSC’s Literary and Debating Society and this year’s headline sponsor, Josephine Gabriel & Co. Ltd. Additional sponsors, including Lindo Mart, National Cooperative Credit Union, KFC, Fine Foods Inc., DOWASCO, DOMLEC, HHV Whitchurch & Co. Ltd., National Bank of Dominica, Insurance Company of the West Indies, Jay’s Bookstore, Republic Bank, and Moreau & Co. Ltd., have also played a crucial role in making this competition possible.

  • Crossing Borders for Carnival in Dominica

    In the heart of the Caribbean lies a gem of cultural celebration and vibrant energy: Dominica's Carnival, known as ‘The Real Mas’. Every year, people from all corners of the world flock to this picturesque island to immerse themselves in the pulsating rhythms of bouyon music, the kaleidoscope of colourful costumes, and the infectious spirit of revelry. But what is it about Dominica's Carnival that entices so many to cross borders and join in the festivities? For many, it is more than just an event; it is an experience that offers a deep connection to the island’s culture, people, and traditions. Unlike other Caribbean Carnivals that have become heavily commercialized, Dominica's Carnival retains its authenticity. It is a space where the old and new seamlessly blend—where traditional masquerades like the bwa bwa stilt walkers and sensei dancers coexist with modern-day soca and bouyon performances. The streets come alive with the sounds of conch shells, drums, and DJ sets that fuel revellers through nonstop celebrations stretching from dusk till dawn. Nicole London, a Brooklyn-born Guyanese descendant, found herself captivated by Dominica's Carnival during her first visit in 2022. Encouraged by a friend's recommendation, she embarked on a solo journey to experience the World Creole Music Festival—a decision that would forever change her perception of celebration. "I was enamoured by the ability of Dominicans to party the way they do," Nicole recalls, marvelling at the endurance and exuberance displayed by Carnival-goers. "It was amazing to me that they could go from 10 o'clock the night before till 1:30-2 o'clock the next day." Yet, it wasn't merely the Carnival revelry that left a lasting impression on Nicole; it was the warmth and hospitality of the Dominican people that truly stole her heart. From her landlord, who generously showed her around the island, to the countless encounters with locals who extended kindness and assistance, Nicole felt embraced by the tight-knit community of Dominica. "The people here have been kind—all the people that I've met thus far have been absolutely kind to me," she shares. "They've helped me in so many ways,” she adds. Nicole's experience is not unique. Time and time again, visitors express their admiration for the genuine hospitality of Dominicans. The island’s Carnival is not just about putting on a show for tourists—it is a communal experience where visitors are invited to participate fully, whether by joining a band, attending traditional pageants, or simply dancing in the streets. The feeling of belonging that Carnival cultivates is one of its most compelling draws. For Devin St. Hilaire, co-founder of Viva La Carnival, bringing international events to Dominica is a labour of love and a commitment to giving back to his homeland. With a background in software architecture, Devin’s passion for Carnival transcends entertainment—it’s about bolstering Dominica’s cultural offerings and tourism industry. "Viva La Carnival has been profitable every single year we've done it in Dominica," Devin emphasizes, underscoring the event's positive impact on the island's economy and cultural landscape. "It's been tremendously influential in boosting the island's cultural offerings and tourism,” he explains. Justin Elliot, known as Cool Blaze, echoes Devin’s sentiments, emphasizing the significance of cultural integration and economic development through events like Viva La Carnival. As a DJ and integral part of the Viva team, Elliot recognizes Dominica's potential as a hub for creativity and entrepreneurship. "Dominica is becoming a place where people can build and grow, regardless of their background," Elliot explains, highlighting the opportunities for both locals and migrants to contribute to the island’s prosperity. "Supporting the local culture and economy creates opportunities for both residents and visitors alike." Indeed, Dominica's Carnival transcends mere revelry—it is a celebration of resilience, community, and shared heritage. As more people flock to Dominica for Carnival, they contribute to the island's vibrant tapestry of culture and creativity, enriching the Carnival experience for all who partake in its festivities. The influx of visitors has also fostered cultural exchange, with people from various backgrounds bringing their own traditions and perspectives, further enhancing the dynamic nature of The Real Mas. From the infectious beats of bouyon and calypso music to the dazzling displays of masquerade costumes, the bwa bwa stilt walkers, and the fierce performances of sensei, Dominica’s Carnival beckons travelers with promises of unforgettable experiences and genuine connections. The festival is a powerful reminder of the island’s indomitable spirit, where music and movement become a language of unity. As the island continues to evolve as a premier Carnival destination, one thing remains certain: its Carnival spirit will continue to unite people from all corners of the globe in a joyous celebration of life, love, and Caribbean culture. Whether you are a first-time visitor or a seasoned masquerader, Dominica’s Carnival ensures that every participant leaves with cherished memories and a yearning to return year after year. ‘The Real Mas’ is more than a Carnival—it’s an invitation to experience Dominica at its most exhilarating and authentic, where every beat, every step, and every smile tells a story of a culture that welcomes all with open arms.
