The Ministry of Education has partnered with UNICEF to review of the Turks and Caicos Islands’ Five Year Education Development Plan and to develop an Implementation Plan.
UNICEF is providing technical support in the person of Mr. Geoffrey Thompson who is in Turks and Caicos since Sunday.
The development of the Five-year Education Plan is in line with the Turks and Caicos Islands’ Government prioritization of the Education sector and the need to develop a clear five-year strategy/implementation plan aimed at the review and development of the sector.
The Five Year Education Plan, in conjunction with the recent report on the National Consultation on Education, is aimed at improving the output from the sector over a specific period. The report and the plan will be used to develop a strategic plan complete with budget as well a logical and a performance assessment framework that will provide the Minister and the Ministry with a pathway towards the continuous development of the sector.
Mr. Thompson is scheduled to work with a locally convened committee to develop a realistic strategic plan for the Education Sector for the period 2014 – 2017.
The Strategic Plan is being designed to articulate deliberate clear strategies for the development of key agreed areas and reflect the recommendations and concerns reflected in the report on the National Consultation on Education and the Education Development Plan.
