Guyana to host regional consultations on developing standards

THE Caribbean Community (CARICOM) secretariat, in collaboration with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), will be hosting a regional consultation on developing standards for the teaching profession for the Latin America and Caribbean regions.

According to a press statement from CARICOM, the purpose of the consultation will be to gather input from key education stakeholders including teachers, teacher organisations, education planners, teaching regulatory councils, teacher educators and researchers.
They will be asked to review and comment on the evolving guidance framework and to suggest ways to refine it and recommend approaches for local adaptations.

The consultations serve as a form of social dialogue to ensure that teachers and their organisations are part of the decision- making processes in the development and implementation of instruments that affect the profession.

Consultations will be held in each of the five UNESCO regions. The first regional consultation workshop covered the Africa region and took place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from 18-19 March 2019.

The next regional consultation will cover the Latin America and Caribbean regions and is scheduled for 17-19 July, 2019, in Georgetown, Guyana.

There will also be a consultation on the development of CARICOM Standards for Teachers, Educational Leaders, and Teacher/Educators at this consultation.

Following each regional consultation workshop, a group of international experts will meet to review and discuss the input generated from the stakeholder discussions.
