Assessment of Post-Secondary Institutions – Pedagogical Aspects and Institutional Capacity

Ginger SOFRECO assesses the pedagogical and institutional capacity of two Colleges in St Lucia, Sir Arthur Lewis Community College (SALCC) and the National Skills Development Centre (NSDC), under the OECS Skills and Innovation Project. The assignment supports alignment between post-secondary education and labour market needs. It examines governance, academic quality, teaching practices, and quality assurance. The team also evaluates EMIS, student services, and private sector engagement. Findings inform targeted recommendations and a capacity development plan. The goal is to strengthen institutional performance and foster innovation in education across the OECS.
