Moving from Vision to Action: HRD 2030 Strategy

Moving the regional Human Resource Development 2030 Strategy from Vision to Action is the major focus of a meeting of Caribbean Community Ministers of Education and Education Officials which began in Guyana, Wednesday.

The Strategy, endorsed by CARICOM Heads of Government in 2017, is expected to help craft a globally competitive system to deliver education and training and produce citizens at all levels who are equipped to function effectively in a 21st Century Economy and Society.

The two-day gathering – the 38th Meeting of CARICOM’s Council for Human and Social Development (COHSOD) – Education, is due to examine conditions that will govern successful implementation of the Strategy; re-conceptualising schooling and learning; the future of work, and partnerships and aligning global agenda.

The significance of this meeting and the importance of human resource development was stressed by speakers at the Opening Ceremony on Wednesday. Below are the Opening Presentations, by Guyana’s Minister of Education Hon.
