Advancing Caribbean Teachers’ maths programme completed by 29 Bajans

A significant cohort of 29 Barbadian secondary school teachers has successfully concluded a six-month regional mathematics training program. This intensive initiative was designed to tackle persistent challenges and weaknesses observed in mathematics education throughout the Caribbean.

The program focused on equipping teachers with enhanced pedagogical skills and updated subject knowledge. The ultimate goal is to foster improved classroom practices and, consequently, elevate students' understanding and performance in mathematics across the region.

By investing in the professional development of these educators, the initiative seeks to create a ripple effect, strengthening the foundation of mathematics education for future generations in Barbados and potentially inspiring similar programs across the wider Caribbean community. The completion marks a key step in advancing the quality of math instruction.
