WILLEMSTAD - Education in Curaçao does not always meet the correct level of the basic requirements. This is apparent from the report on the so-called baseline measurement of Curaçao education.
The report was drawn up by the Education Inspectorate of Curaçao and the Netherlands. The report concludes that education on the island falls short in terms of basic conditions, which affects the quality of education.
Schools are currently not always able to deliver the maximum result. According to the inspectorate, the legislation is outdated and incomplete. “There is as yet no question of a professional structure in which there is a separation between management and supervision with regard to the position of public education,” states the baseline measurement. The Inspectorate emphasizes that good education requires good educational organizations where teachers and administrators work together.
The report was presented to Parliament by the Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport (OWCS) Sithree van Heydoorn.
