Establishment of The  Queensland University (UQ)

The Queensland University (UQ) was founded in 1996 in Haiti as a  Private  Christian University of Public Services  by Queensland University  Foundation (FUQ), on Higher Education and Research  in the Caribbean Region , Haiti . The Queensland University Foundation (FUQ), which was set up in 1995 to investigate Higher Education in the Rural and Urban Areas of Haiti, recommended among other things, the setting up of University Faculty  in association with the Queensland Foundation (FQ). This was followed up by a number of separate Commissions in different regions of Haiti . The Queensland Foundation  Commission was under the Chairmanship of the Very Reverend Jean-Claude Dorsainvil. The Queensland Foundation  Commission published a majority report which recommended the establishment of the Queensland  University (UQ) Faculty in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and a minority report which held that only one University Faculty  of Agronomy and Environmental Sciences (FAES) of Queensland University (UQ)  for the whole of Queensland Foundation( FQ) was feasible. The Small Board of Governance at first accepted the minority report of the Queensland University Foundation (QUF) and decided that a University Faculty for the whole of Queensland Foundation  should be established at Delmas 19, Port-au-Prince, Haiti. But the haitian  people of the  Ouest Department  could not accept this recommendation for the great openning of Queensland University (UQ) . The Netherlands Government by his Embassy in Jamaica accordingly reviewed its decision and agreed to the establishment and accepting to give a small financial support for the functionning of the Faculty of Agronomy and Environmental Sciences (FAES) of Queensland University (UQ) in Haiti. 

  

In 1999, the Queensland University Foundation (FUQ) has openned a Theological Seminary called : Seminaire de Theologie Evangelique de la Grace (STEG) / Grace Evangelical Theological Seminary. We recived a Volunteer Canadian Missionary about STEG, Brother Richard Ouellette, he teachs Counseling and Communication in the STEG.

And in 2003, The Board of Directors of Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU), Washington, DC,  United States of America , accepted Queensland University (UQ) as its First Affiliate Member Queensland University (UQ) in Haiti. The University Faculty benefitted greatly from this arrangement which certainly helped to maintain its high academic standards in Haiti with the arrival of the Canadian Missionary , Richard Ouellette. And International Association for the Promotion of Christian Higher Education (IAPCHE) , IA, United States of America , accepted Queensland University (UQ) as a Member.International Council for Higher Education (ICHE), Switzerland and India has accepted Queensland University (UQ) as a Member. Queensland University (UQ) and Grace Evangelical Theological Seminary (STEG) together created an Association of Christian Schools called :  Haitian Association of Christian Schools of Higher Education (HACUAS) and after the quake on January 12, Grace Evangelical Theological Seminary (STEG) and other  Haitian Biblical Schools created  : Association of Theological Institutions of Haiti (ATIH) and a Ministry called : Grace Community Haiti Ministries (GCHM).

And in 2003, the Haitian Government Ministry of Education send a Letter to the Office of Queensland University (UQ) notified for the reception of all Documents of Queensland University (UQ) for Recognition. And in 2005, The Haitian Government via Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cults has recognized the Seminaire de Theoologie Evangelique de la Grace (STEG) of Queensland University (UQ). The Queensland University (UQ) is recognized by the Haitian Government and we wait only a Licence of the Ministry of Education in Haiti.

CENTRE FOR SOCIAL POLICY STUDIES (CSPS) AND CENTRE DE REFLEXION, D'ETUDES ET D'ANALYSES POLITIQUES  ET SOCIALES DE LACARAIBE (CREAPOS) : The establishment of the CSPS and CREAPOS  in June , 2005  has been initiated primarily to develop and improve social welfare services in the rural and urban areas of Haiti . It is intended to fill a need for social welfare policy research in Haiti . The challenge is to provide a forum that can play a co-ordinating role for the establishment of social development network and political studies and analysis  and at the same time to involve the general public in the process of social welfare policy development. The Centres, which are  sponsored by a small grant of Queensland Foundation, aims at creating greater awareness on social welfare policy issues in Haiti  and promoting participatory development of policies and social service programmes of action. In this respect, the Centre focuses on interdisciplinary projects that emerge from its own programmes as well as those of cognate departments, agencies, organisations and institutions. Specifically, policy areas to be covered through the Centre’s programmes and activities are: the development of the child; poverty, nutrition and household dynamics; family welfare; health; gender issues; ageing; community participation/community welfare; labour issues; environmental issues; population and development. Because of its coordinating role, the Centre serves as a Documentation and Information centre on social welfare policy for students, researchers, policy makers and professionals in the social service field. The centre has a specialised library of reference materials not available elsewhere on  two (2)campuses of Queensland University (UQ) and produces a Social Policy handbook which covers a wide range of policy issues, carrying both information and programme experiences for all ten (10) Departments of Haiti .

THE QUEENSLAND  VIRTUAL UNIVERSITY (QVU) : Queensland University (UQ) after the quake sees the importance to begin with a Distance Education Project which has been in existence for more than two decades in the USA in Collaboration with the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) , Washington  DC, United States of America,  and some parts of Europe by the Centre Caraibeen pour les Relations avec l'Europe (CECARE) / Centro Caribeno para las Relaciones con Europa (CECARE) , involving the use of satellite communication and other communication technologies such as Video, Internet, Email protocols to beam lectures either in real time or in recorded form from universities in the USA and Europe to Asia unti Africa Continent . The advantages derived from the QVU project is the provision of more cost-effective mass education through the sharing of the highest quality academic faculty, library resources and laboratory experience in two campuses of UQ . In this way the project has the potential to overcome lack of facilities that prevent increased access to higher education for a significant number of students in Haiti . The Queensland University (UQ)  is among the one of  Caribbean  countries in  Latin America and the Caraibe , made of one  Anglophone and  Francophone  haitian universities, that have been selected to take part in QVU starting from October 11,2010 when the protocol establishment the linkage arrangement was given the nod by the Academic Board of Queensland University (UQ) in Haiti.
