Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development-Grenada

The Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development, in collaboration with the Diaspora Consultative Committee (DCC) UK, launched “Ah Tell Yuh,” an anthology of poems and short stories written by Grenadian students, on March 14, 2014.

The book, which boasts a signed letter of congratulations from the Prince Charles, features Grenadian culture and history through the imaginative voices of our youth.

Sally Ann Richards, Chair of the Education & Skills Group for the Diaspora Consultative Committee (DCC) UK, journeyed to Grenada for the launch and expressed her pride in the quality of work that was produced by such young writers.

“I took this book, when it was being edited, to a number of my colleagues at the university where I teach and they were surprised that 8 year olds and 9 year olds in Grenada had the imagination, the thought, and the writing skills to write some of these works,” Ms. Richards said.

VISION:

            The Ministry of Education through the various programs will endeavor to implement the relevant aspects of the reform strategy in order to provide citizens with the knowledge, attitudes, values and skills that will help develop their capacity to communicate adequately and display a level of flexibility and creativity, which will enhance their capacity to respond adequately to the challenges of development.

MISSION:

                       The Ministry of Education will ensure equitable access to quality and relevant education to all citizens of Grenada regardless of sex, race, color, creed, ability or socio-economic status.

The Ministry of Education is mindful that the provision of the necessary support services including school-feeding, books and uniforms, the refurbishment, upgrading and expansion of educational facilities and the training of personnel are paramount for the enhancement of education.

The Ministry of Education will endeavor to provide the necessary support service to the nation’s children from ages five to sixteen. Efforts will continue to be made to widen access to quality education at the pre-primary, secondary and tertiary levels in a cost effective and efficient manner.
