| description |
This report comprises the first phase of
analytical activities and focuses on the relevance of the
education and training systems in the Organization of
Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). Its findings confirm the
importance of strengthening the link between OECS education
and training systems and employers' needs. Analytical
findings have also informed the design of a project in St.
Lucia to pilot a new market-driven training model requiring
close partnership between the public and private sectors.
The second phase has already been discussed with the OECS
governments and is in the preparation stage. It will develop
innovative approaches to expand, diversify and finance nurse
training programs to efficiently reduce local shortages
within the context of a growing global demand and migration
of trained nurses from the Caribbean. The third phase is
expected to investigate the factors contributing to learning
outcomes, particularly at the primary and secondary levels.
The study will inform policies and actions that could lead
to improved education quality, which Caribbean stakeholders
have identified as fundamental to ensuring a more
competitive regional workforce in the longer run. This
report's analyses and conclusions confirm many views
expressed by government officials, educators, youth,
students, teachers, labor union members, private sector
representatives, and development partners who participated
in two events: (i) the St. Lucia Industry Roundtable for
Skills for the Tourism Industry, in November 2005, and (ii)
the Caribbean Lifelong Learning Forum in May 2006.1 The
report also was reviewed both internally at the World Bank
by leading experts in education and training, and externally
by OECS stakeholders, including government officials, the
Caribbean Examinations Council(CXC), and University of the
West Indies. |
