Minister of Education, Hon. Rev. Ronald Thwaites, says the National Education Inspectorate (NEI) Report, which has identified deficiencies in the sector, is an indication that gaps need to be filled in the system.

The National Education Inspectorate (NEI) is steadfastly fulfilling its role in helping to transform the education system by promoting excellence, and inculcating a culture of accountability, through quality inspections.

The latest National Education Inspectorate (NEI) report highlights what appears to be a pre-occupation of school administrators with the acquiring of resources, while less focus is being placed on teaching and learning as well as leadership and management.

THOUGH the National Education Inspectorate's (NEI) latest report has shown that approximately half of the school lessons observed by inspectors were 'unsatisfactory', it has admitted that "some innovative practices and the use of time and other material resources were unearthed during inspections".
