Great reading! Dr. Michelle van Tongerloo her experiences living on the island of Statia coming from Europe, the Netherlands! I was able to sense her openess from her bird’s-eye point of view of the Statia people. I was very curious to know how She would describe her life as a small island Doctor on St. Eustatius.

We should be informed of what the safety concerns are exactly. Every article about the school is so vague. Students should be tested to see if the level of education is up to par with other countries and based on those results, an improvement plan should be made.

I am trying to understand this…So in paragrath 3, if your annual income exceeds $51,250. then you will be taxed 35.4% ? Is this correct?

This article said a whole lot and yet said absolutely nothing. The only thing that made any sense was that there are financial problems and administrative failures. What exactly are the “safety” problems ?

I wrote to the CBS about the stats for Saba Immigration. Who ever wrote the article reflected to mention Sabas student population

This is their response:

Dear Christine Meyer,

Thank you for your question. This is indeed true: the figures include migrant students.

Hoping to have informed you sufficiently with this.

Kind regards,
Laura Team Infoservice, CBS
We have been happy to help you.

A separate different anaylsis could have been done for Saba.
Saba has the only Caribbean medical school that met the standards of European accreditation. If SUSOM students’ stay are included in the report, which most likely happened here, then data for Saba may have been interpreted wrongly.

Between 300-500 medical students came in and left (of course) after 1 or 2 years !!!

Who says that “crime doesn’t pay” ?

So for SABA .. is it a $35-increase for a monthly minimum wage earner? From $1750 to $ 1785?

Why is she the only one guilty of loan fraud. Many people on Saba have committed this act. All those who have recieved the Q-credits and use the money other than what it was intended, should be investigated and prosecuted. Also the people in Qcredits should be investigated too.
