For Educators

At the Caribbean Education Source, our aim is to offer a holistic, all-round brilliant higher education guide for this region.

Hence, in addition to the information we have for students and parents, we offer resources and guidance for international educators.

The Caribbean is a dynamic and developing region with lots of exciting potential for international education institutions. The region has made the shift from agricultural economies to knowledge-based economies such as tourism, off-shore banking and oil production. Hence, this has spurred high levels of government investment in primary and secondary education. In Barbados, education takes up some 17% of the annual budget.

This has resulted in ever-increasing numbers of students pursuing tertiary education, both within the Caribbean and overseas.

When it comes to university attendance, the region punches above its weight, with more students from the English-speaking Caribbean enrolled at American universities than those from countries with much larger populations such as Australia, Brazil and Germany.

In light of this, the CES is offering international student advisors vital resources with which to better understand the Caribbean educational environment.

On this site, you will find links to Essential Exams, explaining the various qualifications Caribbean secondary schools and community colleges work with and descriptions of the various Caribbean tertiary institutions. You will also find lots of news about Caribbean students all over the world, links to Caribbean student associations and a page with links to Caribbean accreditation agencies.
