National Consensus on the Future of Education

This report reflects the views, concerns and aspirations of the people of the Cayman Islands for the education of their young people. It includes responses from over 600 participants at the September 2005 Education Conference ‘Defining Challenges, Finding Solutions, Together’ - as well as from numerous written and oral contributions to the media.

Participants at the conference presented their suggestions for the qualities that educated Caymanians should possess by the time they leave our high schools. There was much consensus that our young people should be literate and numerate, but also that they should possess good interpersonal skills, be self-motivated, adaptable, respectful and honest members of society.
