Celebrating 80 years of training persons in the field of hospitality and improving family life is no minor accomplishment. Thus, the Carnegie School of Home Economics which can now be referred to as the Carnegie Hospitality Institute has a number of activities planned for the remainder of the year.
Thursday evening saw a formal launching of these activities at the Herdmanston Lodge, Queenstown. It was during this that a few of the school’s few key contributors were honoured. They included former Principal and member of the Board of Directors of the institution, Ms. Magda Pollard.
Pollard noted that even though she thoroughly pursued academics, she does not regret having joined the Carnegie School of Home Economics.
She explained that the subjects offered at Carnegie and schools like it, all have to do with science- Domestic Science; food and nutrition.
During a prior conversation Ms. Pollard explained that “many of us can cook, but not many of us know why the colour of the chicken changes in the pot…Many of us are into fashion but not many know how to treat and select their clothes.”
Pollard posited that those are just some of the minor importance that ‘Clothing and Textiles’ as well as ‘Food and Nutrition’ plays in us pursuing healthy lives.
Copies of a new Carnegie Souvenir Magazine were presented to Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, and the guests of the simple launching ceremony.
Minister Manickchand in congratulating the school expressed the need to have more men involved in its courses, since the ways of the world has changed.
She pointed out that unlike before, there are more men who assist their wives in the home, be it with the chores or in looking after the children.
Minister Manickchand said that likewise, the Education Ministry also wants to have more women enroll in technical institutes.
Chairman of the school’s Board of Directors, John Seeram, reiterated the need to extend the services offered by the Carnegie Hospitality Institute into the regions. This, he said, can only be done with the support that the institution hopes to receive from the private sector.
