 The Ministry of Education continues to develop a roadmap for the development of TVET in St. Lucia, charting the way forward to improve on the quality of TVET training and offerings. The National Enrichment Learning Unit, NELU, of the Ministry of Education, has joined the movement as first of several curriculum review workshops have commenced, focusing on aligning content and assessment with that of CVQ standards. NELU's education officer, Mercury Ann Charles Mordes says, the focus of the Ministry of Education presently is on widening the provision of access to TVET subjects and CVQs, and that NELU will play a major role in carrying out that mandate. Today, the NELU has decided to move in the direction that the Ministry of Education is moving. We are starting to elevate our standards. Only before we offer a certification that is non-possible or not recognized internationally, and we know that the ethos of the education system now is the TVET and CVQs and other international forms of certification. Therefore, we are starting to align our standards with that of the CVQs and other international forms of certification. The education officer also says the transition to offer CVQs will be a process. However, the outcomes will be long-lasting and fruitful, not only for the NELU but the candidates who complete certification. Well, it will make our loans more marketable. They have the world as the avenue, so the scope of choices is wider. Well, it's a process because we know that we are part of the Ministry of Education and the plan the Ministry of Education has is to move our TVET plan and forms of TVET education into a more portable form of certification. So it means that we have to follow the process. It's not going to be one short thing or an instant thing, but gradually we'll be moving as planned. The National Enrichment Learning Unit, NELU, is an agency of the Ministry of Education that offers alternative pathways to career success with the offering of a wide range of subjects and programs, from basic mathematics to tiling and auto-mechanics.
