Many school visits are taking place, too.

As the Christmas season approaches, we'll take a break and resume further dialogues with more individuals and groups. Meanwhile the Ministry of Education and Culture would like the public to become actively 'involved" in this education review. We are, therefore inviting everyone to support us, to cooperate with the review team and lastly we would welcome written submissions from individuals or groups by December 31, 1999 as it will not be possible to reach everyone.

Our outreach programme also includes two (2) public meetings as follows:

(1) On Friday, 3rd December, 1999 the first meeting will be held on Virgin Gorda at the Ashford Waters Community Centre at 7:00 p.m.

(2) The second meeting will be held at the Sir Rupert Briercliffe Hall on Tuesday, 7th December, 1999 at 7:30 p.m.

I encourage everyone to attend these meetings and to express your views. We hope to provide other opportunities for more persons to do so in the new year.

Claim ownership of this education review, participate fully.
