Background... In 2004 we saw the need to improve the technology in Education Management in Caribbean schools and made the decision to do something about it. This early adoption of our initiative was discussed in a Web document titled: [Regional and national EMIS initiatives] This document outlines the Challenges in the Caribbean to implement education management technology.
Today abusSTAR is deployed to 123 schools, including all Government, Secondary and Primary Schools in Barbados and 23 schools in Antigua and Barbuda. We are projecting a total of 188 schools in 2012. We developed comprehensive training programs and ongoing training for technical staff, Administrators, Teachers and Parents. Understanding the management systems in Caribbean Schools, we transferred the knowledge gained, creating an application with a proven track-record of addressing the needs of the education community
We welcome the opportunity to meet and present how abusSTAR can have a positive impact on you eduction program. With the expansion of the Education Revolution, abusSTAR will also greatly enhance the efficacy of the teacher in the classroom in schools, and the Ministry’s access to the student’s performance across all Schools, Primary Secondary, and Tertiary Education. The movement of people around the Caribbean is also a significant factor in considering abusSTAR, making it easy for parents to keep in touch with the child’s performance even when traveling.
