St. Kitts and Nevis Ministry of Education held its first consultation session on strategies for the Education Sector Plan at the Red Cross Conference Room in Nevis on March 23, 2016. The Plan is expected to be completed by September-October 2016.
The consultation was the last of the seven working sessions held for the development of these strategies by Education Officials of both St. Kitts and Nevis.
National Coordinator for the Education Sector Plan Development Dr. Neva Pemberton said, based on the discussions at the consultation, it would appear that peoples’ impressions of the strategies presented by working groups were in line with issues identified in the diagnosis of the education system.
During the session, programme development working groups came together for the first time to discuss the preliminary set of strategies developed in previous sessions.
A member of each group presented strategies developed in Programme areas, which include Curriculum and Assessment, Quality and Relevant Teaching and Learning,
Leadership and Accountability, Professionalizing the Teaching Force, Knowledge Management for Decision Making, Access and Participation, and Policy Development and Coordination. Corresponding activities and those responsible for implementation were also reflected in these strategies.
