3. How did you bring opponents on board?
3.1 The Salvation Army in the Bahamas & Jamaica became more comfortable once they realized that some of their existing teachers were eligible for training, because they already had basic teacher education certificates
3.2 MOEs were persuaded once they realized that CCB-SSI would be providing scholarships to their teachers and equip the Unit Class or Resource Room, if they agreed to employ the teacher upon completion of their training and provide physical space to support their work.
3.3 The University of the West Indies was not really an agent of opposition. It was an obstacle because of how bureaucratic and outmoded its decision making process was at the time.
I found my self traveling between the 3 campuses (Jamaica, Barbados & Trinidad) to lobby directly with the respective campuses, to be sure that once the course was approved in one place, their would be no difficulties re recognition by the other campuses.
