On September 27, 2025, Grenada’s Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell delivered a compelling speech at the United Nations under the theme “Better Together.” Mitchell emphasized the transformative power of education, describing it as a “lifeline” and a “bridge between limitation and possibility.” His address highlighted the critical role education plays in empowering individuals and communities, a sentiment deeply rooted in Grenada’s history and its leaders’ vision for national development. Mitchell’s speech underscored the significant strides made in Grenada’s education sector under the current NDC administration, including the removal of administration fees, technological upgrades for schools, and support for institutions impacted by Hurricane Beryl. Education, he argued, is not merely a tool for social mobility but a cornerstone for creating active, informed citizens and fostering global unity. Mitchell also aligned his vision with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 4, which advocates for inclusive and equitable quality education worldwide. He particularly emphasized the importance of educating women and girls, noting its potential to elevate them from the margins to leadership roles within communities. While Grenada has made commendable progress in eradicating illiteracy and improving school attendance, challenges such as educational inequality, financial barriers, and limited adult education opportunities remain. Mitchell called for a transformative approach to education, one that integrates formal, informal, and community-based learning to ensure lifelong access for all. He also acknowledged the vital contributions of NGOs like GRENED and NEWLO, which have worked tirelessly to provide resources and opportunities to disadvantaged individuals. Despite these efforts, Mitchell stressed the need for systemic change to make education truly universal and empowering. His speech served as both a celebration of Grenada’s achievements and a call to action for continued progress in the nation’s educational journey.
