Situation in Barbados

Education in preparation for the future•Literacy rate of 99.7% (5th in the world) (US/UK=21st)•Free education to age 16 regardless of background or means

•A culture of creativity and risk in learning •Strong pride and desire to succeed•Poor responses to challenge, despite ‘A Grades’. •Presentation skills often poor•Limited horizon regarding ‘what is possible’

Page 7: Pillar Presentation - Talent & Education

Situation in Barbados

•Enterprise embedded at the centre of learning•Critical thinking skills often underdeveloped

•Innovative, inclusive, child centred teacher training•Young people tend to an instinctive ‘ No’ answer rather than an instinctive ‘Yes’ •“Pedagogy stifles creativity – teachers deliver and students receive”•Entrepreneurship viewed as risk – not always the ‘preferred route’ for children
