Expanding the definition of “Education”:

• Labour believes that in a fluid global environment, the definition of “education” has to be frequently re-visited and revised.
• Labour believes that there should now be greater emphasis in the classroom on morality, perseverance and other character-building values. 

Expanding infrastructure and career opportunities:
Labour is ready to dramatically expand the career opportunities open to the nation’s youth through, among other things:

• The establishment of the Saddlers Secondary School - ensuring the federation’s young people can build substantial careers in technical fields. 

Expanding youth development through intergenerational relationships:       

• Beginning this year, the Ministry of Education will introduce an after-school character development programme. Responsible adults with information, talent, or skills are invited to volunteer.
  

Expanding Development at All Ages:
Labour’s commitment to developing nationals of all ages will be evident in:

• Placement of Early childhood teachers within the public service to provide them with career stability.
• The Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College training teachers to identify children with emotional difficulties.
• 250 additional early childhood spaces created by the end of the year.
• New day care centres opening in St. Pauls and on Victoria Road.
• CFBC acquiring full university status.
  

Loans For University Study:

• During the 14 years between 1995 and 2009, Labour approved 1821 loans to allow the nation’s young people to study at university. During the 15 years between 1980 and 1995, the previous administration approved 21 loans for the nation’s young people.
