The Caribbean Innovation and Leadership Lab (CILL), in partnership with the Ministries of Education of Saint Lucia, Dominica, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, is set to host the Caribbean Education Innovation Forum II. This pivotal event will take place from October 7 to 9, 2025, at the Beachcombers Hotel in Kingstown, Saint Vincent. Under the theme ‘Unlocking Full Potential: Transforming Education Through Innovation, Equity, and Insight,’ the forum aims to bring together educators, school leaders, and ministry officials to foster transformative change in Caribbean education systems. Attendees will explore teacher-led innovations, share evidence-based practices, and develop inclusive strategies to enhance equity in classrooms across the region. The Saint Lucia delegation will include Chief Education Officer Beverly Dieudonne, Education Officers Jean Jeriffe and Marie George-Arlain, and representatives from prominent schools such as Carmen Rene Memorial and Dennery Primary. Participants from the three nations will engage in role-based sessions, innovation showcases, and collaborative dialogues, with a particular focus on improving teacher–student relationships and scaling successful educational models through ministry support. This forum is a cornerstone of the Full Potential Program (FPP), a 2024–2027 initiative funded by GPE KIX, which seeks to strengthen equity and inclusion by empowering educators to design, test, and implement low-cost, locally tailored classroom innovations. The program is driving collaboration and capacity-building to improve teaching, learning, and student well-being across the Eastern Caribbean.
