Maritime Safety Tech: The SKNDF has received three SOFAR Spotter marine-monitoring buoys via a CIMH-led regional initiative, adding near-real-time wave, atmospheric pressure, and sea-surface temperature data (including depth temperature on one buoy) to strengthen early warning and coastal resilience for both islands. Geothermal Push: Nevis geothermal drilling is set to start within 60 days after a final pre-mobilisation inspection of the Drillmec HH-300 “Týr” rig in Iceland clears the way for shipment; NEVLEC and UK specialists completed safety and quality checks, with drilling planned for the Hamilton site as part of a 30-MW development. Education & Skills: The Curriculum Development Unit ran workshops to support the OECS Harmonised Primary Curriculum pilot, prepare teachers for Grade 3 Enhanced Mathematics, and train French teachers using the CEFR framework, while Nevis also sent representatives to a CPA conference on “Strengthening Parliaments in the Digital Age.” STEM Scholarships & Exchange: TaiwanICDF scholarship recipients from St. Kitts and Nevis began university placements in Taiwan, and Taiwan youth ambassadors are visiting for four days, with the programme highlighting tech and youth exchange.
