Compiling this regional document provides insights into the various emerging trends amongst the Member States. Data collection and analysis provides a springboard from which we can learn best practices and discover areas for further development.
We encourage all stakeholders to engage with this report actively and leverage the data to
enhance the quality and efficiency of education across the OECS. Together, we can build a
more equitable and effective educational landscape for all our students.

You can see a lot, just by looking.– Yogi Berra
Greetings from the Nature Island of the Caribbean – Dominica. I would like to encourage you to take a look at this OECS Digest which has been produced with you in mind. You will see a lot; including numbers, figures, data, trends, graphs, charts, tables and analysis while developing an insight on the education sector of the Member States.
The journey of these publications started way before I joined the team in 2013. Collectively, the statisticians over the nine OECS territories have shown their resilience and dedication in providing data annually in order to produce a digest that will capture what is happening in the education sector. I serve as the finance and education institution lead on the digest team and have seen the publication move from a print to digital production. My hope is that the data we present will be used to shape education in the region.
