Established in the mid-1960s as the Institute of Education, the mandate of the School of Education was to be engaged in curriculum and teacher development and research activities in the Eastern Caribbean and Barbados. From the time of its establishment to 1995/1996, the Institute  changed its name from Institute of Education, to Faculty of Education, to School of Education, due to major re-structuring of the University of the West Indies.  Subsequently, it was merged with The School of Humanities to form The Faculty of Humanities and Education. Teacher education for university certification was introduced at the School in 1973, with  programmes fully funded by the Government of Barbados. Having built the foundation for future development in the sub-region, the School embarked on the development of undergraduate and graduate programmes. It has been jointly involved in the various colleges and institutes in the teaching and examining of their varied  innovative, country-specific, and regional programmes.
 

An innovative, transformative and unparalleled leader in education.
