Basseterre, St.
Kitts, November 26, 2012 (SKNIS):
The Ministry of
Education recently joined forces with the Learning Support Departments
of all the high schools in St. Kitts and Nevis to impart to students
skills on interacting politely in
social situations.
Eleanor Philips
Learning Support Coordinator, stated that the workshop will help
the children to understand the different social graces that are
expected of them.
“They are here to
learn about etiquette in public places, that is how they should behave
when they are in public places and also what they should do when they
enter a dining room in a formal setting, noted Mrs. Phillip. “So they
are here today practicing more or less what they have done in the dining
etiquette session.”
She also stressed
that the workshop is important because many of the Federation’s youth
are falling into unacceptable groups.
“Over the years we
have recognised that a lot of the young men and even some young women
end up in groups that are really not acceptable in the community and we
call these groups gangs. When we check we found that most of them come
from families that really didn't teach them the social graces that they
should know, that is, how to behave in various places.
Mrs. Phillip
expressed that if children are taught how to behave in public places,
how to make good friendships and how to make good choices the number of
students that are ending up in unacceptable groups will decrease.”
The ministry has
worked along with teachers and members from the community to facilitate
the sessions.
Topics covered
included etiquette in public places, dining etiquette, inter and intra
personal relationships, that is, teaching them how to behave when they
are around others and how to choose their friends.
