Barbados' Education Transformation Beyond the 11 Plus
The Barbados Ministry of Educational Transformation has articulated a comprehensive vision for overhauling the national education system, with a central objective being the abolition of the Barbados Secondary Schools' Entrance Examination (BSSEE), commonly known as the 11 Plus or Common Entrance. This ambitious reform agenda, detailed in the "Reimagining Education In Barbados: A Bright Future For Every Child (2023)" document, seeks to address long-standing issues of elitism, underachievement, and to better prepare students for the demands of the modern world.
