Towards a Global Citizenship Education for Caribbean Canadian Youth
Walrond, Jean
Interchange: A Quarterly Review of Education, v39 n2 p185-203 Apr 2008
The number of people living in Canada of Caribbean heritage has increased substantially over the past forty years. This paper examines aspects of Caribbean culture and Caribbean education culture to explore if Caribbean Canadians can claim a Caribbean education philosophy. The research claims there is one. The article suggests that this philosophy should be recognized and considered in the education of Caribbean Canadian youth to prepare them for national and global citizenship. In all its analyses and observations, the paper consistently sees relevant education, especially one that takes people's socio-cultural background into account, as important for human well-being.
