In preparation for the launch of the Commission, Director, Human Development at the CARICOM Secretariat, Ms. Myrna Bernard, and Member of the CARICOM Human Resource Development Commission and President of the Caribbean Employers’ Confederation, Mr. Wayne Chen, had a sit down with programme host of Mornin’ Barbados Ms. Cassandra Crawford Thursday morning.

The discussion on the breakfast programme focused on issues such as the purpose of the Commission, activities that the Commission will embark upon and the CARICOM Secretariat’s role as coordinator.

The HRD Strategy, which the Commission will shape, is intended to form the basis for converged action by Member States. It is expected that the Commission will also develop policy recommendations for education reform in CARICOM Member States.
