Aug 06, 2013

GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – Caribbean teachers are meeting here on Monday amidst a call for the region to produce educators that would help establish a competent workforce to help the Caribbean deal with a changing global environment.

Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretary General Irwin la Rocque told the 36th biennial Conferences of the Caribbean Union of Teachers (CUT), said that the 15-member regional grouping “needs a workforce that is healthy, competent, and literate with strong basic skills and which can adapt to a rapidly changing labour market and technological world”.

He said as a consequence, there was need for “more than passing assurance” that thosefunctioning as teachers are certified to teach, thoroughly prepared, and maintained performance standards.
