The Ministry of Education in St. Kitts and Nevis has launched training for school bus drivers to operate two new electric buses donated by Taiwan. These vehicles will transport students and elderly residents across the islands, promoting safer and more reliable service.
Key Training Components
Drivers receive hands-on instruction in vehicle operation, charging procedures, safety protocols, and onboard monitoring systems. The program also covers advanced technologies, including real-time tracking and performance monitoring, to ensure competent handling.
The Minister highlighted the need for drivers to operate the buses safely and efficiently.
Advancing Sustainable Transport
This effort supports a shift to cleaner, tech-forward student transportation. Officials note it boosts transport capacity, enhances student safety, and fosters environmental awareness in St. Kitts and Nevis.
