Using Education Data: Best practices and Lessons Learned from other countries will be the focus of a workshop, early next month, when the Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development, in collaboration with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), hosts a one-day meeting of principals of secondary schools from across the island.
The seminar forms part of a series of joint meetings on the Education Sector Studies/Reform that run from March 28 to April 6.??
It will be conducted on Tuesday, April 5, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at Illuminat (B’dos) Ltd, White Park Road, St. Michael. The seminar will examine, among other things, education performance in Barbados and the availability of educational data/statistics needed for various project documents required to facilitate the development of Government’s Education and Training Sectors Strategic Plan 2011-2021.
The data will also assist the IDB in the development of the Project Profile for the proposed loan agreement and facilitate Government’s access to IDB loan funds.
