Abstract
This paper traces the development of education in the Caribbean, with particular reference to higher education, and identifies some of the tasks to be performed by Caribbean universities. These include 1) the preservation and extension of the right to education, 2) analysis of the ideologically determined purposes and functions of universities, and 3) analysis of education hierarchies—content, material and curricula.
