Educational overview of Barbados
The Barbadian Education system is modeled very closely after the British system, though as many British expats are quick to point out, it’s the British system of 40 years ago. Despite gaining independence from the UK in 1966, educationally very little seems to have changed. Many of the schools here date back several hundred years, to the early days of British colonization.
