Before embarking on the substance of my presentation, some background information on St. Kitts & Nevis may be instructive and insightful. 
St. Kitts & Nevis has a population of about 42,000 people and it is the last of OECS countries to achieve political independence. 
We have a student population in the region of 11,000 in the primary and secondary school system. More than 1/3 of our population is of school going age.
