The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) has announced the appointment of St Lucian Dr Didacus Jules as the organisation’s new director general.
Jules, the Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of the Barbados Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) will take up his new position on May 1, 2014.
He replaces Dr Len Ishmael, who demitted office at the end of December 2013.
“The Authority is confident that the correct choice has been made and we look forward to working with Dr Jules in ushering in a new dispensation at our organisation,” said OECS Chairman and Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, Baldwin Spencer.
He said the nine-member regional grouping had canvassed widely and received applications for the position from across the region and beyond.
