    Summaries of case studies of education and productive work in Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, St. Christopher/Nevis, St. Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago
    (Carneid Coordinating Centre) CARNEID;
    A certain number of concerns, common to a varying degree to all countries in the Caribbean, have resulted in efforts of integrating education with productive work. Among these concerns are nation-building, achieving a more egalitarian society, meeting economic demands, creating self-reliance, and improving cost effectiveness. At the human development level, objectives are related to combining intellectual with manual work, preparing students for active life, and creating positive attitudes towards work. In one country's view, linking education and productive work seems most rational in countries where children assume adult roles at a very early age. The brief country studies in this volume outline approaches to integrating productive work into the formal system as well as into nonformal programmes, discuss assessment procedures, and look into possibilities for the future
