OECS Declaration on Education February 2022

Additionally, the environmental vulnerability of the OECS Member States compounds these concerns, as these small island states are subject to the threat of climate change and natural hazards such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions.

The OECS Declaration on Education Statement builds on the vision of the OECS Education Sector Strategy 2012-2026 that Every Learner Succeeds and the goal of advancing socio-economic development through quality education that allows all citizens to reach their full potential. This document outlines the twenty-six articles of the declaration across three thematic areas:

1. The OECS vision for education;
2. Harmonisation of education policy;
3. Partnerships and collaboration.

These themes and the related articles were developed from a series of consultations with education stakeholders across the Member States in 2021 and 2022.
