Prime Minister Harris underscores importance of parents’ role in their children’s lives

BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, October 18, 2018 (PLP PR Media Inc.) — Prime Minister Dr the Hon Timothy Harris has once again reiterated that parents play a very important role in the lives of their children, while observing that positive motivation does not require a parent to be an expert in the area he is or she is attempting to help their children.

“You do not have to know the modern maths or the modern English to encourage your child to learn,” said Dr Harris. He stated that a parent could help their child by asking the right questions, and also by asking if the child has any homework. A loving and caring parent should also visit the teacher to ask how the child is doing, noting that it can provide positive motivation to the child.

PRESS RELEASE

National Museum’s New Exhibition to Focus

On Trade and Banking

(St. Christopher National Trust) October 11, 2018: The history of trade and money in St. Kitts is the focus of a new exhibition at the National Museum, set to open on Tuesday October 23rd.

A joint initiative between the St. Christopher National Trust and the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, the History of Commerce and Banking Exhibition explores the marked shift in the island’s economy following Emancipation.

Prior to Emancipation most trade in St. Kitts was conducted directly with England, with sugar being used as the main form of exchange. After 1834 however, the former enslaved people had to be paid wages in cash. This ushered in a money economy which saw an increase in both the volume of imports and the number of retail business.
