AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoEducation & Access: Grenada’s Ministry of Education has relocated several in-person services from the Sir Eric Gairy Botanical Gardens compound to workspaces at the nearby Ministerial Complex, with units including Examinations, Student Support, Scholarships and Finance available daily 8am–4pm (Mon–Fri). Literacy Push: The Ministry also rolled out the “Grenada RISING – Foundational Learning Programme” pilot at St David’s Catholic School, aiming to get every child reading and understanding by age 9, after recent Minimum Competency Test results showed two-thirds falling short. Youth & Skills: The DPM is pitching a national apprenticeship and skills plan to tackle Grenada’s shortage of tradespeople like masons, carpenters and plumbers, arguing training should start in schools and continue for young people who’ve left. Disability Inclusion: A UN regional campaign, HireAbility, is urging Caribbean employers to break workplace barriers and expand decent jobs for people with disabilities—an initiative linked to Grenada youth advocate Zinzee Noel. Agriculture Opportunities: OECS leaders are urging governments to offer crown lands on transparent, bank-recognised terms so young farmers can invest and build climate-resilient agribusinesses. Culture & Community: A Grenada-linked story of Caribbean heritage and public service echoes across the region, while local arts and faith events continue to draw attention to culture, education and community life.
