dc.description.abstractThis paper examines education in Trinidad and Tobago in the period 1962-1987 with respect to both internal changes and external impact. An attempt is made to assess the impact of changes in the education system on: 1) individuals' readiness/ability to function in the post-independence era, 2) economic development, and 3) sociocultural change. In terms of changes in the educational system, it focuses mainly on the primary and secondary sectors with respect to access and curriculum. Reference is also made to access, teaching, and research at The University of the West Indies (UWI), and to the establishment of several agencies offering nonformal education. In terms of impact on national development, there is an attempt to examine the ways in which education affected the following: 1) individual preparedness to deal with independence, 2) the economic challenges of independence, and 3) the sociocultural, in terms of issues related to multi-ethnicity and cultural autonomy
