B arbados’s top education administrator wants a review of the education system to ensure that students receive instruction that is relevant to their current and future needs. “When we think ahead, we have to ask ourselves, what do we want our future to look like? What are the competitive advantages that we want our students to have as they go out into the real world? What are the distinctive competencies that we want them to have and how should we teach them?” Chief Education Officer, Dr. Ramona Archer-Bradshaw told a virtual audience. She was addressing The UWI Schools of Education Biennial Online Conference which was held 15-16 June last year under the theme Reimagining Education for Global Sustainability.
