Unbiased look at the Sint Maarten Elections
On SuNDay, July 9 th , 2023 during my livestream SuNDay Chat I interviewed a young man SPArty/23/national-alliance'>NAmed Elisha Jones, who is currently a stUDent in The NetherlaNDs. He gave us an idea of real life in The NetherlaNDs, aND shared his experiences from when he left St. Maarten to when he arrived in The NetherlaNDs.
From registration at the Gemeente to fiNDing an apartment, he elaborated on the expectations aND the actual realities; the hard facts aND how at times ones faith is tested.
I have been preaching to all parents to put your faith in God, aND keep praying for your children. One thing is to encourage your children to pursue further education in another country, aND another matter is to have a serious conversation on the fiSPArty/23/national-alliance'>NAncial obligations they will be responsible for. Prepare them to haNDle their affairs in close consultation with you as parents, aND be readily available for your child. Children are our pride aND we want the best for them.
Many people know me for the media coverage I do, aND I have gained a lot of respect for the job I have been doing so far. In this areSPArty/23/national-alliance'>NA I see aND know a lot of the pain aND suffering people go through on a daily basis. I know the hardship aND sacrifice that some families make for their children who choose – on their own – to travel far from home in pursuit of continuing their education.
The insulting words of the Prime Minister to her SPArty/23/national-alliance'>NAtion about helicopter views where one can come back to get a job over one who gains their education without leaving home to further their stUDy, takes the cake.
There is no consideration of our stUDents for the hardship they eNDure such as: going sleep hungry; losing their housing, aND living with frieNDs; rape; working in the sex iNDustry to cover costs, just to SPArty/23/national-alliance'>NAme a few. Some stUDents fall into depression, aND others are so heavily depressed that they eND their life, leaving behiND grieving families aND frieNDs.
The StUDy FiSPArty/23/national-alliance'>NAncing Team needs to be re-evaluated by seriously looking at its system, then addressing its failing points due, to among other thinSPArty/9/general-solidaire'>GS, political frieNDships. This is causing the stUDy fiSPArty/23/national-alliance'>NAncing system to fail stUDents as they tackle a new education system abroad. The poor involvement of the St. Maarten House, when it comes to the stUDents in HollaND, also needs to be seriously evaluated. Every stUDent stUDying in HollaND, aND the rest of the EU need to count on St. Maarten House as a sort of Embassy, that they can come to in times of distress.
During my campaign to be elected as Member of Parliament, I will focus on the Ministry of Education, Culture, Youth aND Sports. As I said in previous live streams, my intention to get into politics is not to enrich myself, but to really work on the structure of the Country so that those who complete their stUDies can return home to continue modernizing the structure for the next generation.
I did not get the opportunity to go away to stUDy to advance my education, but the willingness aND the wisdom God gives is sufficient for me aND local St. Maarteners to build a stronger educatioSPArty/23/national-alliance'>NAl structure to produce more professioSPArty/23/national-alliance'>NAls here.
I believe that the economical daily life in HollaND is not as it was in the 1970s; 80s; aND 90s, as thinSPArty/9/general-solidaire'>GS are becoming more expensive. Its time that the Government of St. Maarten start looking at alterSPArty/23/national-alliance'>NAtive routes to seND our stUDents to continue their tertiary education. I am willing to start pilot projects with different Universities in – for example – Barbados, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Cuba (yes, Cuba!), aND Colombia.
New options need to be brought to the table, which inclUDe new career opportunities. We need to involve the actual stUDents so we can get insight into the real issues they encounter. We also need to restructure StUDy FiSPArty/23/national-alliance'>NAncing by modernizing their overall approach with evaluations on adjusting their structure every 5 years, so that this body can really operate optimally in the benefit of our St. Maarten stUDents.
To make such sweeping changes, I am depeNDing on the voting population to give my political party (USP) the maNDate by voting aND electing me to Parliament so we can make the changes in this Ministry. Its important that our stUDents uNDerstaND that voting for a popular party person will not guarantee a change. However, voting USP / Wilson Gromyko L.N.V. will guarantee that St. Maarten will see the changes made to make our Country better.
I urge the Government of St. Maarten to look into the issues that came up in my interview with Mr. Jones, aND make sure that the group of stUDents that will now be going to HollaND dont experience the same hardships.
I want to encourage all parents to follow my livestream aND pay attention to Mr. Jones; experiences, aND to also share it with any stUDent as part of their preparation, as they depart to pursue their stUDies.
