One of the common threads which run through the reading and rhetoric on education in the English-speaking Caribbean over the last twelve years is the need to structurally relate the education of the region to its socio-economic goals. Gatcliffe of Trinidad pointed out that ‘it must be a major objective of our educational system to provide young people about to enter the labour force with the kind of education that will make them trainable and employable in existing occupations” and in 1968 the Draft Education Plan of Trinidad and Tobago [23] spoke of producing citizens fitted to respond to the challenges of a multiracial developing country. Bacchus [4 ] has argued that education should help these societies to achieve decolonization by being related to those economic objectives which they have themselves determined. In a major policy speech [14], Guyana’s Minister of Education said that the education system aimed at equipping young people with skills to contribute to the society and giving them practical experiences to make a success of the Co-operative Republic.
