Introduction

Since independence, across the Commonwealth Caribbean countries have taken many initiatives to develop an educational system that reflects to a greater degree their economic needs and cultural norms. However, the foundational framework that was adapted from the British educational system has remained largely unchanged.

Generally, across the Caribbean the system has four levels: Early Childhood, Primary, Secondary and Tertiary. Two other important areas are: Special Needs Education and Adult Education.
