WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Ambassador Abigail de Perez Castro, Education Coordinator of the OAS Department
of Human Development and Education, paid a courtesy call on Ambassador Newry
on Wednesday , September 16, 2015, and
advised on the ongoing efforts at the OAS to construct an Inter-American
Education Agenda.
The framework for the Agenda focuses on three main areas: quality, inclusive
and equitable education; strengthening of the teaching profession; and
comprehensive early childhood care.
Areas of potential benefit to The Bahamas were also highlighted, including the
ongoing development of a virtual platform for the sharing of best practice in
education policy in order to facilitate horizontal cooperation throughout the
Americas and a 'peace leaders' program which focuses on developing citizenship
competencies in children through community based learning and curriculum
integration.
The Bahamas Permanent Mission to the OAS, in following up on last year's visit
of the Minister of Education, Hon. Jerome Fitzgerald, to Washington DC and the
recent Commonwealth Education Ministerial convened in Nassau, underscored The
Bahamas' commitment to leadership on education initiatives in the region going
forward.
