Where UTECH has programs in non tech fields like hospitality or business...its graduates fill a void that would otherwise be much worse if it did not exist....should these be just dropped unilaterally to focus on tech solely? That's a big ask.
What is needed is a top to bottom review and reorientation of the tertiary system....which would determine the optimal mix of programs and institutions Jamaica needs to go to the next level...and a plan to execute that mission.
In an environment like that an engineering specific UTECH would make sense to me...not just some unilateral action by UTECH to drop programs.
