    The Education system and NHRD

    Education system plays an important role


    in determining the types and levels of
    skills available in the labor market, as well
    as in shaping the national values and
    approaches to training and development
    process. ( Tregaskis, 1998)
    The Education system and NHRD

     Basic education Reform project

     Adult education program


    Basic education

     Primary level: focused on teacher quality,


    curriculum improvement, student
    outcomes, and increased access.

    training)
    Adult education program

    National enrichment and learning
    program: includes training in a diversity of
    skills and learning that is relevant,
    practical, and applicable.
    Public and private sector HRD
     Public sector: The HRD function is carried
    out by a number of agencies, ministries, and
    departments in consultation with the Ministry
    of Public Service centralized training
    program.

    The participation of the private and public sectors
    indicates a greater awareness of the importance of
    HRD in relation to development of the island.

    for the PSDP, conducted an evaluation gave the
    program high marks for its implementation. These
    accomplishments suggest that NHRD is having a
    positive impact.
    Challenges

     Challenges 1
    Challenges in the education system
    have previously been mentioned, but it is
    worth nothing that problems facing
    secondary education in particular reflect
    weaknesses in the human capital
    development process.
     Challenges 2

    Tendency for training and development


    to be geared toward academic skills
    rather than specific job training
    Conclusion and Implications

     National human resource development in


    St. Lucia is, therefore, a process whereby
    the private, public, and other sectors
    collectively implement programs directed
    at the development of workforce skills.
    Knowledge, and attitudes that are driven
    by national development goals.
     Theexperience of St. Lucia as it seeks to
    develop and implement NHRD points to
    an expanding role for HRD professionals.
