summary vision of an industrialized nation – trinidad affairs

We are third world in the face of massive oil and gas profits. The following besides a needed welfare state satisfying basic needs is the path of INDUSTRIALIZATION and first world beyond.

Industrialization defined is the process of transforming the economy of a nation or region from a focus on agriculture to a reliance on manufacturing. In TT’s case already an oil state and agriculture too primitive, hence more about propping up food security and diversifying into non oil sector manufacturing, so too infrastructure. The financial fruits from the fossil fuel sector provide the financing with minimal if any borrowing.

1. Free university replaces GATE.
2. Adoption of finland education policy – 3 teachers in class, 1 dedicated to individual attention: handles slow kids and a counselor assigned. No kid left behind and standardized tests reduced.
3. Adoption of hi tech class equipment like digital whiteboards, digital notebooks and the curriculum itself available digitally as the case with Japan, South Korea.
4. Adoption of UNIVERSAL HEALTH SYSTEM, whereby costs out of pocket at private doctors and pharmacy are state subsidized to cheap. Costs controlled by the state setting prices of medical products and services, reviewing every 2 years. Meantime the public health improved to match private. Our two tier system remains.NOTE – education and health investment are vital to create a suitable workforce.
5. Medical Computerization – similar to France’s VITALE, a DIGITAL SMART CARD for patients with all relevant details, possibly including medical information. Mandatory for all citizens, it is handed to a medical practitioner at doctor’s and pharmacy. Replaces paper clinic cards – in effect use of paper is lessened and essential component to the ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD.
6. Establishment of a technology university – the institution of tertiary education specializes in engineering, technology, applied science, and natural sciences such as in Hungary. Will train foreigners too for minor charge.
7. Young pioneers program – A program to feed science, inspired by Israeli ones like Talpiot. Envisions harnessing Trinidad and Tobago’s most academically gifted in the sciences and leadership potential to enhance the state in various civilian fields.
8. Reestablishing train service – shall follow the Japanese model – who build and operate for the country a rapid rail.
9. Industrialization 41 – SPEEDILY implemented, via state investment, government owned industry and factories built in ALL 41 constituencies of Trinidad and Tobago, with the aim of job creation and diversification and crime reduction, moving the state in fresh industrialization directions and exports an influx of FOREX. In turn social advances preclude crime and poverty.
10. Employment of locally born scientists, engineers and such – in furtherance of technological aptitude for the nation, government will employ them to local positions.
11. Importation and Employment of foreign born scientists, engineers and such – a government program. These foreigners have the EDUCATION NEEDED TO BUILD A HI TECH STATE. These supplement locals to rapidly industrialize Trinidad outside the oil sector, diversify the economy. TT a science leader.
12. Scientific Neighborhood Initiative – Trinidad likeminded as Yehud, Israel; to attract academics, scientists, engineers and professionals, locals AND foreigners alike, in new, highly invested neighborhoods, constructed at state expense.
13. Establish an Electronics factory – set up to make small electronics, teams compete against each other and other aspects to encourage creativity. Under Industrialization 41 program.
14. Opening local hi tech companies and industry – (some industry listed in the manifesto like MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, PHARMACEUTICALS and CLEAN ENERGY) as one pillar to facilitate a hi tech state, various ones raised here, both government or private under good incentives.
15. Establish an Information Technology company – (IT) is the use of computers to store or retrieve data and information. The term is commonly used as a synonym for computers and computer networks, but it also encompasses other information distribution technologies such as television and telephones. Government set up.
16. Technology park – for business, research, and development. Defined is an area where companies have offices and laboratories and do work involving science and technology.
17. Local medicine and equipment made – goal a PERCENTAGE of both, so too herbal medicine included, prioritizing the crucial. Equipment products potentially includes – blades, needles, clothes, suction devices, stethoscopes, diabetic testing machines, prosthetics, surgical tools, surgical lights, gloves. Produced in a state owned factory.
18. Diabetes treatment and research hospital – The Diabetic Wellness Center replaced if needed, the new facility staffed by SPECIALIZED diabetic personnel.
19. Medical science institutes and labs – TRINIDAD SHALL SWIFTLY ESTABLISH ITS OWN MEDICAL RESEARCH ARM THE AIM TO BE A MAJOR PLAYER THE MEDICAL SCIENCE FIELD, INCLUDING AND NOT LIMITED TO CREATING MEDICINES AND TECHNIQUES.
20. Establish a local DNA genetics lab of research – relevant scientists are hired, adequate funding laid. Among research directions are Molecular genetics and genetic engineering.
21. Establishment of an agricultural institute – set to world standards. Local and foreign experts employed and not limited to exploring and developing techniques concerning agriculture and related using SCIENTIFIC TECHNIQUES such as: plant genetics, plant physiology, meteorology, and soil science.
22. Agri innovation – the INSTITUTE has a role. Innovation in differing types like green house farming, supported by increased cash and recruitment of farmers, scientists, engineers, chemists, foreign consultation and such.
23. Establishment of a computer research lab – tasked with practicing aspects of computer science. A battery of qualified computer scientists and other personnel are hired from abroad as needed, based in Trinidad. Part of “Industrialization 41”.
24. Establishment of a government owned software development company – would hire a pool of computer programmers and software engineers and engage in related tasks. The company is to be MEDIUM TO LARGE SIZE.
25. Independent software developer grant – the government offers citizenry funding for small software creation.
