Dominica’s Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, has called for a “structural change” at the Barbados-based Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) as part of the reform of the education system that is urgently required in the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).
“This is about us and about the future of our children and the future of our society. We have to equip our children with what they need today to lead this very difficult world,” Skerrit told the 1Oth meeting of the Council of Education Ministers of the OECS , which ends here later on Friday.
“Our system cannot be seen to be pre-occupied with only with preparing students for examination and if you ask me, I think there has to be a serious structural change at the CXC. By simply adding subjects to be taken at examination level at the CXC is not a positive movement,” Skerrit said.
