| Summary: | Grenada has faced various socioeconomic
challenges within the last decade, including the destruction
wrought by Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and the global financial
crisis. As a result, economic indicators for Grenada
illustrate unfavorable. Increases in the poverty and
unemployment rates, especially among the youth and young
adults. This report presents an assessment of the
regulatory, legislative, and institutional landscape
governing workforce development (WfD) in Grenada. The
results of this analysis are based on a newly designed
analytical tool developed by the World Bank under the
Systems Approach for Better Education Results (SABER)
initiative. The aim of this initiative is to garner data so
as to provide systematic documentation and assessment of the
policy and institution factors that influence the
performance of education and training systems of
SABER-participating countries. The SABER-WfD tool
encompasses initial, continuing, and targeted vocational
education and training that are offered through multiple
channels, and focus largely on programs at the secondary and
post-secondary levels. The results of the assessment
presented in this report are expected to assist in
clarifying priorities. They classify the WfD system
according to four stages of maturity in policy and
institutional development, as follows: (1) Latent, (2)
Emerging, (3) Established, and (4) Advanced. |
