Together For Better Education

Solar-powered means using energy from the sun, captured by photovoltaic (PV) panels or concentrated solar power (CSP) systems, to generate electricity or heat, powering everything from small calculators to entire homes and grids with a clean, renewable resource. It works via photovoltaic cells converting sunlight into electric current (PV) or mirrors focusing sunlight to create heat (CSP). This technology offers a sustainable energy alternative, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and is increasingly efficient and affordable, notes Repsol and National Grid.

With over 19 decades in teacher training the Mico University College holds the enviable record of being the oldest teacher training institution in the Western Hemisphere. The Mico University College stands as a beacon of excellence in the delivery of high quality teacher education in Jamaica, the wider Caribbean region and beyond. The Mico embodies resilience, endurance and relevance especially in the 21st century. Its remit is enshrined in the College’s Strategic Plan, which envisions The Mico achieving full University status offering degrees at all levels in science, technology, liberal arts, and the humanities. A significant feature of the stability of The Mico since its inception in 1836 is the reliable and affirmative support of the Lady Mico Trust.
