Monitoring Education Reform in the OECS

Current education indicators place the OECS Member States well above the average for all countries at similar levels of economic development. Universal primary education targets have been largely achieved, while early childhood, secondary and tertiary level enrolments continue to climb. While considerable progress in education reform was
achieved in the last decade of the 20th Century, rapid changes in our regional economy require further development of our human resource base so as to compete in the global economy of the next century. Continuous improvements in education are needed to adjust to new and ever-changing economic realities.
