C'est la rentrée des classes, voyons voir ce qui se passe chez nos amis Barbadiens :
Tout comme ici c'est la rentrée des classes:
La primary school intègre les élèves de 3 à 11 ans. La nursery va jusqu'à 5 ans, infants de 5 ans à 7 ans et les juniors de 7 à 11 ans. L'entrée à la secondary school se fait après passage d'un examen le BSSEE ( Barbados secondary school entrance examination).
Barbades comprend 83 écoles primaires publiques. A l'école l'élève étudie :
- English (language and literature)
- spanish
- religious and moral education
- computer education
- mathematics and sciences

A travers cette education se dresse une philosophie : " the philosophy underlying the Barbados education system is based on the premise that every child should have educational opportunities of a kind which would allow him to make the most of his abilities and to contribute to the social and economic groth of the country"
Il y a une chose qui relève totalement de l'originalité c'est le
