In their seminal Caribbean Education Strategy Report, Jules, Miller, and Armstrong (2000) argued that in order to meet the developmental objectives of an internationally competitive labour force by the year 2020, the Caribbean region would need to be able to demonstrate “a 30% increase in persons with qualifications in science and technology at the postsecondary level” (p. xviii). These authors also noted their concern that “the region as a whole lags far behind in science and technology, and a more concerted effort is needed to bridge that gulf” (p. 27).
