Make Communication Studies in Caribbean Education optional!!!

The Issue

Subjects such as Communication Studies and Caribbean Studies shouldn't be compulsory and students in the Caribbean should be given the ability to choose whether or not they would like to do these subjects.

The Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) can instead, incorporate a new subject where students learn about managing finances and paying taxes. We think that this would heavily benefit the students who are leaving high school and make their transition into the world of adulthood a lot easier. The Students in today's society may be 20%of our population but they are 100% of our future.

 

If you were to compare a modern day cellphone to a phone from 100 years ago, there'd be a big difference right?
If you were to compare a modern day car to a car from 100 years ago,
there'd be a big difference right?

Now i want you to compare a classroom of today to a class that we used 100 years ago.

In literally more than a century nothing has changed about our education system.

The world is constantly evolving and so should our education system.

We really hope you all take this into consideration and make the right choice for the betterment of our society.

But if I've managed to convince you, please sign this petition to make a change.
