No End In Sight For The COVID-Led Global Supply Chain Disruption, Forbes October 6, 2021

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, so the saying goes. When it comes to the current state of the global supply chain, weakness is everywhere. Massive dislocations are present in the container market, shipping routes, ports, air cargo, trucking lines, railways and even warehouses. The result has created shortages of key manufacturing components, order backlogs, delivery delays and a spike in transportation costs and consumer prices. Unless the situation is resolved soon, the consequences for the global economy may be dire.

Tribute to the Most Honourable Edward Seaga, O.N., P.C. Chancellor, the University of Technology, Jamaica June 3, 2019

Seaga

The Most Honourable Edward Seaga, ON, PC

The University of Technology, Jamaica notes with profound regret, the passing of former Prime Minister, the Most Honourable Edward Seaga, earlier today.

Mr Seaga has served as a distinguished Chancellor of our University from 2010 to the present. During this period, he was a major source of inspiration and a guide to the leadership of the University. He was instrumental in annual meetings of the University and lent his wealth of experience and expertise to all aspects of the University’s work. He was also Pro-Chancellor at UTech, Ja. between 2008 and 2010.

Edward Seaga was a pioneer in all aspects of Jamaican life. At the University, we recall his most recent public appearance in our community. This was Mr Seaga’s Distinguished Public Lecture in commemoration of the University’s 60th Anniversary. That lecture, which was concerned with the “Origins and Development of Jamaican Music” saw Mr Seaga at his spellbinding best. He reminded us of his outstanding oratorical skills, his deep love of Jamaica and Jamaicans, and of his extensive knowledge of Jamaican cultural and religious practices.

Ruel Reid Minister of Education, Youth & Information Has Resigned! March 20, 2019

Here’s the latest on the resignation of Sen. the Hon Ruel Reid, Minister of Education, Youth and Information. We take particular note of these developments because the Ministry of Education, Youth and Information (MOEYI) is the parent ministry of our national university–University of Technology, Jamaica.

In addition, we will watch this matter keenly because the University has once again been placed in *wait mode on the matter of whether the Government will act justly and increase the subvention to our national university, commensurate with need.
