Address to the Grenada National Parent Teacher Association
Seminar on Adopting the New Constitution
Henry Hinds, Curriculum Specialist, OERU
29 November 2002
Today I congratulate this new body, Grenada National Parent Teacher Association (NPTA) in
this expressed willingness to participate in a constructive way in the development of education in
Grenada. This venture today, I am told, deals with the adoption of the new constitution. I am
happy to play this small role by sharing some ideas I have on the matter. The substance of my
short discourse is intended to stimulate your interest in the prospects that may lie ahead.
However, in order that you may be able to play meaningful roles in this organization, first of all
you need to read and understand the Education Act 2002. So challenge number 1 is to become
familiar with the law that governs the provision and process of education in Grenada.
