Educational Reform in The Bahamas: Part I

Keva M. Bethel

Abstract


This, the first part of a two-part paper, focuses on educational reform in the Bahamas in the post-World War II era. The research, on which the paper is based, in part, represents the Bahamian contribution to a collaborative effort to produce a book on post-war developments in the English-speaking Caribbean. In this presentation the social context of educational report and the status of primary, secondary and tertiary education are discussed.
