AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Education Reform: CXC officially launched the Caribbean Targeted Education Certificate (CTEC), calling it a “game changer” after a successful mathematics pilot, with results showing an 88% pass rate in the May–June 2026 sitting and a modular approach that lets students master and earn credentials step by step. Accessibility & Community: The Barbados Council for the Disabled received a new accessible school bus at Harambee House, easing transport for children with disabilities, while wheelchair users also flagged ongoing barriers like high taxi costs and gaps in public infrastructure. Youth & Purpose: Hollywood actress and activist Jenifer Lewis urged Barbadian youth to find purpose, practice self-love, and reject prejudice during a Marcus Garvey Celebrations youth engagement session. Sports & Pride: Barbados produced the ICC’s July Players of the Month—Justin Greaves and Hayley Matthews—marking a historic double for Caribbean cricket. Cricket Development: CPL Schoolyard kicked off with coaching sessions in Saint Lucia and Jamaica, giving nearly 100 children cricket training plus back-to-school book bags. Local Crime Court: Miguel Rico Ranaldo Daniel, 34, was remanded after charges including assisting an offender and traffic offences linked to an August 16 incident; he was also charged in connection with an escaped prisoner case. Culture Spotlight: Rihanna returned to Barbados with her children, sharing moments around “Rihanna Drive,” local bus tours, and Crop Over celebrations. Cricket Honour: CPL confirmed Dwayne Bravo and Ian Bishop as inaugural inductees into the CPL Hall of Fame, to be honoured at a September 15 gala in Barbados with proceeds supporting prostate cancer testing.
