Call for education review

James Fletcher, the Director of Social Development in the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) is raising concern about the high incidence of drop outs and increasing repetition rates in Caribbean schools.



As such Dr. Fletcher is calling for a review of the Caribbean\'s education system to better address the needs of students.



According to him there is a disconnect between children and teaching in some instances, and the system should be re-examined from early childhood to tertiary.



He says the review should not only address exams but support services as well.
