Addressing Urgent Societal Imperatives Print

Objectives

  • To address urgent societal imperatives in a constructive and creative manner.
  • To make education relevant to the concerns of stakeholders.

General Philosophy

Education at its most elemental level is about the mobilisation of a people to construct their future society, and within it build their personal lives, taking into account the past history of that society and the dynamic forces that are currently at work. The critical questions to be address are what are some of the urgent societal imperatives that the OECS must address at this time. The strategies outlined here were those identified by stakeholders as issues that must be addressed by education if it is to be relevant to the OECS reality in the first decade of the twenty-first century
