THE Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) and the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) have announced they plan to establish a Regional Parent Teacher Association (RPTA).

In a release on March 25, CXC said, it will be “an entity designed to unify and strengthen parent-teacher engagement across the Caribbean.”

The release said, “The RPTA will focus on several key objectives, including promoting cooperation among national parent-teacher associations (PTAs), facilitating direct communication with ministries of education and other government authorities, building strategic alliances with governments on educational matters, and advocating for improvements in the regional education system to positively impact the welfare of students, teachers, and parents.”
