dc.description.abstractPrior to the COVID-19 pandemic, many higher education institutions (HEIs) in the English-speaking Caribbean were already facing funding challenges, in particular those that depend wholly or in part on governments, directly or indirectly. Directly infers that payments are made to the institutions through government subventions, while indirectly reflects payments made through student loan facilities such as the Student Loan Bureau in Jamaica or the Government Assistance for Tuition Expenses (GATE) programme in Trinidad and Tobago. In addition to funding challenges, indigenous Caribbean HEIs have been grappling with the internationalisation of higher education and the concomitant competition from offshore entities, as well as the increasing availability of online programmes made possible by the significant advances in information technologies. Issues such as attracting high-quality academic staff and ensuring ongoing relevance and quality of programmes and courses in a highly globalised operating environment remain a constant consideration of the leadership of all HEIs.
