MINISTER DEFENDS 2026/2027 BUDGET AS A YOUTH INVESTMENT.
Parliament is continuing its intense scrutiny of the 2026/2027 Appropriation Bill, as the Minister for Education, Youth Development, Sport and Digital Transformation mounted a strong defence of the government’s spending plan—framing it as a major long-term investment in Saint Lucia’s youth. Speaking during Thursday’s week’s debate, the minister backed the budget presented by Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre on April 21, insisting that increased funding to his ministry signals a deliberate push to strengthen education systems, expand youth opportunities, and tackle deep-rooted social challenges through sustained, strategic investment.
