A programme to establish satellite compasses at secondary schools is said to be started soon. Minister for Education, Petter St. Jean told the media that this initiative will be taken through the help of Dominica State College (DSC). The main aim of this programme is to accomplish the foremost education in the country.
While speaking up Petter St. Jean said, “Dominica State College intends to provide diverse offerings to its clients and we set plans to explore learning in a way that it supports a comprehensive progressive curriculum”. He also told that satellite compasses will be established at various secondary schools around the island to provide a better experience of education to Dominican learners.
The minister said the government’s new policy that makes education at the Dominica State College free, ensures that every learner who desires to do so, can access these new opportunities and under the leadership of Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit the government is bringing up new programmes to facilitate students with leading education on the island.
Satellite compass technology uses GPS to calculate an accurate heading which is the compass direction in which a device is travelling or should be travelling. It doesn’t rely on the earth’s magnetic field and is not affected by metallic objects. Usage of satellite compass technology in secondary schools will provide a better educational experience to pupils in understanding directions.
