NEWS RELEASE

The Ministry of Education has received another shipment of much needed Reference and Text Books.

The books cover a wide range of fields and topics including Information Technology, Mathematics, Economics, Geography, Literature, Business Management, Science, Management and Communications. This shipment, valued in excess of $50,000 (US), was made possible through the efforts of Mr. Teddy Mohammed, manager and owner of Caribbean Educational Publishers Ltd, in Trinidad and Tobago.

Mr. Mohammed visited Grenada following Hurricane Ivan and met with education officials. During his visit, Mr. Mohammed expressed his willingness to assist in the rehabilitation of the education system. As a result, he received a book list compiled by the Curriculum Department of the Ministry of Education through a Need Assessment Survey of the Nation’s schools.

Disbursement of the Text and Reference books will begin this week.
