Education Reform Strategies for the OECS

Since countries of the OECS have developed self-sustaining systems of primary education which are reasonably efficient in terms of their attendance, repetition rates, drop outs and completion rates the objectives are to address the issues of process and quality and to make primary education more responsive to the needs of students who require remediation and special attention. The focus of the strategies is the provision of capital and developmental inputs which would have a maximum impact on the quality of education while adding only minimally to recurrent costs.
