Cayman Islands to have Education review and inspections
- a) Educational provision and student outcomes – key areas include:
- Evaluation of the standard of the existing government education system, in terms of student performance, including comparisons with agreed international benchmarks where possible, and stakeholder satisfaction;
- Evaluation of the current Ministry policies, plans and initiatives, and the extent to which they address or have the potential to address key system needs;
- Undertaking a gap-analysis to identify areas for improvement to meet stakeholder needs.
- b) Governance – key areas include:
- Identification of various models for an enhanced private sector partnership in the governance of the government education system, which could be adapted to suit the needs of the public educational system in the Cayman Islands, and which have the best potential to improve student outcomes;
- Identification of the pros and cons of each model and implications for implementation including changes to the current governance model, structures, systems and processes to facilitate a transition to each of the recommended models.
- Reporting of key findings and making recommendations as to priority areas and strategic actions to be undertaken by the Ministry to improve the performance of the government education system.
