The Ministry of Education Human Resource Planning Vocational Training and National Excellence, in collaboration with the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States Program for Educational Advancement and Relevant Learning, will be hosting a series of public consultations titled the Early Childhood Education Leaders’ Forum.

The public consultations will seek the views and varied perspectives of stakeholders and interested parties to support the development of the new primary curriculum. Dominica is currently reviewing primary education to inform potential changes that will be implemented via an initiative undertaken by member states of the OECS. Public consultation is critical to identifying the competencies that need to be emphasized in the curriculum.

It incorporates global best practices and will contribute to the holistic development of students. A new curriculum is required to successfully meet the community’s needs, address present-day contextual realities and navigate the future’s dynamic and highly competitive work environments.

The Ministry of Education invites students, teachers, principals, parents, Education Officers, Curriculum Officers, families, members of the business and creative sectors, advocacy groups, and all interested persons to participate in the consultations to be held on June 14th and 15th at the Alliance Francaise, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.
