Your Future, Our Priority

An OpEd By Karen Malcolm, All Island District Candidate, Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM)


As one of the Peoples Democratic Movement’s (PDM) All Island District Candidates, I Karen Malcolm, am deeply committed to fostering opportunities for our children, young adults, and all Turks and Caicos Islanders to thrive in education, employment, and entrepreneurship.


It is our duty as leaders to craft policies and initiatives that empower every citizen to become productive, prosperous, and law-abiding members of our Beautiful by Nature Turks and Caicos Islands.


Laying the Foundation for Educational Excellence

Education is the cornerstone of a thriving nation. We must provide a strong foundation for our children, ensuring they have the literacy and comprehension skills necessary to succeed at every level. It is unacceptable to advance students who are unprepared for the next stage of their academic journey.


A PDM government will revise the national curriculum and focus on skill and real-world applications in high demand sectors. Emphasis will be on STEM education, agriculture, tourism, healthcare, environment studies  and construction. Additionally, we intend to increase the scholarship budget  and training programs will be tailored to meet our country’s labor skills demand.


Every Turks and Caicos Islander will be encouraged to take advantage of all the initiatives; skills training and employment opportunities that will be available. We will offer robust career counseling and job placement for returning students and others seeking employment.  No Turks and Caicos Islander will be left behind.


Empowering Through Vocational Training and Entrepreneurship

Vocation and Entrepreneurial training will be top on our agenda. Our National Trade School will be the cornerstone for providing the necessary skill sets for our booming Construction Industry. A PDM government will also introduce entrepreneurial education, encouraging students to sharpen their business skills and become employers in the emerging industries such as digital and service sectors.


A Listening and Accountable Government

The PDM is committed to being a government that listens, cares, and remains accountable to the people. We understand the challenges facing our communities and are ready to implement solutions that will transform the lives of every Turks and Caicos Islander. On Election Day I ask for your vote to make a positive change in our communities.


The future of our nation is at stake, and it is time to vote for a team with a clear vision, solid plans, and the determination to deliver results. A vote for the PDM is a vote for progress, opportunity, and hope.


Join us in building a brighter tomorrow. Let us ensure a PDM government is victorious in the next general election. Together, we can make your future our priority.

Vote PDM all the way! Thank you for your support—we are ready to work for you and with you!

 May God continue to bless our Beautiful Turks and Caicos Islands.
