Transforming education in Grenada

In Grenada, a primary education curriculum reform is underway, and the upper secondary curriculum is strongly shaped by final exams, but there is no official curriculum for lower secondary education.

Lacking guidance on how to define curriculum content and assess students, lower secondary teacher turnover rates are high, and teaching quality is low.

The government is working with GPE and other partners to implement an enhanced curriculum and assessment strategy for lower secondary schools.

Grenada’s Partnership Compact emphasizes improving national capacity to develop, implement and assess the curriculum, which will promote Grenadian values and address the diversity of students’ learning needs.

Relevant existing teaching and learning materials will be integrated into the new curriculum, and new materials will be developed.

Training for teachers and school leaders will strengthen curriculum delivery, and improved assessment strategies are intended to contribute to better teaching and learning.
