Ashworth Azille, the United Progressive Party's (UPP) candidate for St. John's Rural East, is calling for a fundamental transformation of education in Antigua and Barbuda, arguing it must serve as the single most empowering force for citizens of the twin-island nation.
According to Antigua Observer, Azille made the bold proposal during a town hall meeting on Sunday night, where he challenged community members to critically assess whether the country's education system has made meaningful progress over the past 30 years.
The candidate used the public forum to press residents on a pointed question: has the system truly advanced, or has it remained stagnant while the needs of Antiguans and Barbudans have evolved?
Azille's remarks signal that education reform would be a central plank of his platform should he secure the St. John's Rural East seat, framing the issue not merely as a policy matter but as a broader question of national empowerment and progress.
