The education systems in Caribbean nations have faced several challenges. They have historically provided broad primary and secondary education but limited high school opportunities. There is also a problem of "duality" where quality is uneven. Recent issues include hundreds of qualified teachers emigrating and an outdated curriculum not preparing students for current job needs. Caribbean countries are working to implement reforms through collective efforts and national initiatives to improve their education systems for the future.

AERA 2012 - A Case Study Examining the Perspectives of an At-Risk, Rural Stud...Michael Barbour
Barbour, M. K., & Siko, J. (2012, April). A case study examining the perspectives of an at-risk, rural student enrolled in virtual schooling. A paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association, Vancouver, BC.
A large population of virtual schooling students are defined as “at-risk.” However, there is little research that focuses on the experiences of these students. This case study, based on interviews and video observations of an at-risk, rural student enrolled in an online course, brings light to some of these experiences. The student was good at prioritizing, often took the path of least resistance to achieve the minimum level of expectations, and demonstrated waning productivity during class. The student was also able to clearly express his thoughts on what was needed to succeed in an online course. As more rural students have to learn online, it is important to better understand how to design, deliver and support virtual schooling.

outcomes of education.

provision has always been broad, its quality
has not been evenly distributed.

PROBLEMPROBLEM
6. • 80% and climbing, of current jobs and those in
the long foreseeable future, will require
advanced technical education and skills.
• Caribbean countries must move away from the
old system, syllabus-based curriculum that
prepares students to matriculate to institutions
and to graduate with general degrees to nowhere
or back home to sit down waiting for the end of
time.
PROBLEMPROBLEM
7. • One fine issue is the matter of streaming, or the
act of grouping students in streams according to
various criteria. Students are sorted into
categories, according to the student's knowledge
of aspects of the competitive curriculum -
knowledge that reflects the existing social
structure and social and economic opportunities.
• Once the students are categorized and streamed,
they are likely to remain in that stream for the
major part of their school career.
PROBLEMPROBLEM
8. Educational reform has become a major item of public
policy across the globe. Prompted by the prospects of the
new millennium parents, policy-makers have searched
for answers and new approaches Many Caribbean
countries decided to reform their education systems
through a collective effort.
