PREFACE

The development of learning outcomes for the core curriculum in OECS primary schools is
an essential part of the harmonization of OECS educational systems. The curriculum
harmonization process commenced with discussions between the OECS Education Reform
Unit (OERU) and educational personnel in all member countries (See Eastern Caribbean
Education Reform Project: Initiative on curriculum and remediation – Design Mission
report, February 1998). Subsequent to the preparation of the report curriculum officers,
teacher educators and evaluation officers, in a sub-regional workshop in Antigua and
Barbuda, developed basic principles for mathematics in the primary school. All mathematics
curricula from member countries were examined during the workshop. The Report of
proceedings: sub-regional curriculum and remedial planning workshop held on October 25-
30, 1998 presents a full account of the decisions taken at the workshop.
