This will be achieved by addressing the problems set forth by the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.

In 2005 the government of Anguilla proposed a five year plan, the Education Development Plan 2005-2010, designed to increase student achievements. The plan was quite comprehensive and highlights the government’s vision for the educational system on the island and the methods for achieving this. Some of the programmes suggested were curriculum development, the establishing of school boards, introducing new financing for education and the evaluation of school performance. Some of these programmes have already taken effect. The building of a Community College began in 2006 and financial assistance is being offered to individuals for tertiary education. The government is also in the process of improving primary and secondary school infrastructure. In February 2007, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the extension project of the AA Primary School in West End. The Department of Youth, Sport and Culture was also established to improve the sporting facilities and training available to youths.
