Haiti Prime Minister Visits MIT Sloan
Haiti Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe joined MIT Sloan Executive Education faculty and administrators and MIT-Haiti Initiative leaders for a planning session on the next phase of the MIT-Haiti Initiative on June 5, 2014. The MIT-Haiti Initiative is a joint partnership between MIT, Haitian educators and the Haitian government. The program was created to address issues of poverty alleviation, economic regeneration and the democratization and modernization of education in Haiti. The initiative is also a continued recovery effort from the 2010 earthquakes in Haiti.
The program has been providing high-quality faculty training and curriculum development for teachers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. The Office of Executive Education at MIT’s Sloan School of Management has begun to offer management and leadership training to Haitian officials.
