Skelton-Cline celebrates Hon de Castro on HLSCC milestone
During his show on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, on ZBVI 780 AM titled ‘What We Know Is Not True Part 3’, Skelton-Cline commended de Castro and her team, saying, “I was just delighted to hear this past week that the H. Lavity Stoutt Community College has now been fully accredited and is suited to become a four-year college offering Bachelor's Degree diplomas.”
This ‘needs to be celebrated’
He also recognised HLSCC President Dr Richard E. Georges and his team for their continuous work at the college.
During the 33rd Graduation Exercises of the college on June 11, 2026, Hon de Castro announced that the institution will begin offering four-year degrees upon receiving official accreditation.
This accreditation will enable the college to launch its Bachelor of Arts in Education. This will provide aspiring teachers the opportunity to complete their full training locally, eliminating the need to pursue parts of their studies overseas.
Skelton-Cline described the accomplishment, saying, “That’s a hippopotamus move. That’s big stuff, and that needs to be celebrated.”
Public education, he added, is a critical component that needs attention.
This was not the first time Skelton-Cline spoke highly of Hon de Castro on his platform in her role as Minister for Education, Youth Affairs and Sports.

Isn't that a mile stone also.
HLSCC.
Keep on working to the best of your ability.
We the voters are taking note that it has taken an incoming election year for all kind of things to now be given attention even though she’s been Minister for several years. The salary, trips and perks don’t want to be lost but we the voters have the final say.
