Education in the Bahamas
[3] The University of the Bahamas, established in Nassau in 1974, provides programs leading to bachelors and associate degrees.
Their curriculum is the standard reading, writing, and numeracy, but the Council continues to strive to bring technology in the mix.
With the number of children living in urban areas of the Bahamas rising, it was about time for primary schools to make an appearance.
As a result, primary school teachers are taught the mechanisms used to teach the students English in addition to their regular everyday studies.
[3] The reason for this split is merely because the schools don't want any bullying taking place on the younger students and, in turn, affecting their focus on their schoolwork.
The hope is the students will be presented opportunities that integrate them socially and culturally to fully comprehend life out of the institution.
By the end of grade nine, students are administered a Bahamas Junior Certificate examination that they must pass this exam in order to move onto their next level.
The Bahamas General Certificate of Secondary Education is given to students as an exit exam at the end of grade 12.
In 1974, one of the larger colleges within the Bahamas opened its doors with offerings of associate degrees, certificates, and diplomas.
Various bachelor's degrees were added in fields of Nursing, Business, and Education around the early 1990s which accelerated their program developments.
The College Council continued to grow their institution by adding various buildings to provide educational environments for the different career fields.
The university expresses that its mission is to promote a higher education for their students that will benefit them in all aspects of their careers.
University of the Bahamas strives to build the commonwealth of their country, so it is more than worth it to them to have built something as large-scale as the new institution.
[8] In addition, established in 1978, the Bahamas-based Centre for Hotel and Tourism Management is a component of the UWI Mona Faculty of Social Sciences.
[3] To increase rehabilitation rates in the Bahamas, there was an education program introduced to help the imprisoned become better prepared for release and integration into society.
Providing inmates with education, enables them to find job opportunities and increases the chances of successfully becoming a part of society.
It is when officers try to aid inmates with necessary information and tools to successfully rejoin society and return to the life you may have had before imprisoned.
Students who are autistic or even hearing impaired are encouraged to attend the public schools because educators want a blended environment with no child being left out.
Although students were still able to learn, they had difficulty thriving in the classroom due to the lack of updated materials provided by the schools.
[3] This system proved to not be efficient because students were struggling when it came time to learning handfuls of material without proper storage for their notes.
One educator at a technical college in the Bahamas discusses how although the teachers have access to technology such as smart boards or computers, the students do not.
Another instructor at a local college argues that the government will see a positive outcome if their students were able to take advantage of online learning.
