The Commonwealth Students’ Association is proud to announce that Mr. Jonathan Jones has been appointed as the Dominican Representative of the Caribbean and Americas Region for the period 2018-2020.

During his two-year service with the Commonwealth Students’ Association, Mr. Jones will seek to advocate for better education policies in both private and state educational institutions in Dominica.

The main aims of the Commonwealth Students Association are ‘to promote unity among student organizations in Commonwealth countries; to protect the rights of Commonwealth students and to contribute actively to the development of student movements; and to create an environment for student unions and student movements to build their respective and collective capacities, to freely express and advocate.
