The theme speaks to the collaborative work in education between the OECS Education Reform Unit (OERU) and the OECS member countries. The Unit recently has completed the implementation of the Eastern Caribbean Education Reform Project (ECERP) that produced a variety of products, including harmonized learning outcomes for the core areas of the school curriculum, and guidelines for school management and student discipline for OECS countries. 

The meeting will consider areas such as a harmonized career path for teachers, a policy for universal access to secondary education, greater access to tertiary education within OECS countries and bulk procurement of school texts.  Ministers will discuss also the role of education in the movement toward an Economic Union among OECS countries. 

Minister of Education of Grenada, Honourable Claris Charles, and the acting Director of the OECS Social and Sustainable Development Division, Mr. Francis Burnett, will address the opening ceremony.  Hon. Claris Charles is expected also to play a leading role as host Minister during the deliberations.
