The Cabinet of Ministers has endorsed the ICT in Education Policy and Strategy for Saint Lucia (2019 – 2022). Cabinet met on Monday, January 28 and adopted the policy framework.
The realization of this new ICT in Education Policy and Strategy for Saint Lucia came as a result of an important cooperative effort of the Ministry of Education, Innovation, Gender Relations and Sustainable Development and the Commonwealth of Learning (COL). The development process for this policy framework began in 2017 with both technical and financial assistance from COL.
The ICT in Education Policy and Strategy for Saint Lucia (2019 – 2022) is designed to support both the goals of the National ICT Strategy and the broader vision of the Government of Saint Lucia for leveraging ICT as a driver of growth and development. The timing of the adoption of this policy and strategy is fortuitous, as the document will also help provide a clear outline and context for the Department of Education’s e-Education drive.
The Ministry of Education, Innovation, Gender Relations and Sustainable Development welcomes the news of the endorsement of the new ICT in Education Policy and Strategy for Saint Lucia as this decision highlights yet another important accomplishment under the #EducateSaintLucia campaign
