Historically Montserrat Technical College (MTC) was in operation,[4] and additionally the Montserrat Secondary School (MSS) provided vocational education,[5] as well as sixth-form college.[6] The community college was built with an estimated cost of more than six million Eastern Caribbean dollars; it was funded by the UK Department for International Development and the European Union.[5] Montserrat Community College Act 2003 established the college.[3] MCC opened in 2004, taking over sixth-form studies from MSS. Initially classes were held at the former Salem Primary School. MCC's current campus opened on August 28, 2005.[6] “For the past two years’[when?] students at the college have undertaken short weekly personal development sessions entitled ‘My Time’ on a range of topics from Financial Planning and Savings to managing stress, sexuality and ethics.”
