The IECF's philosophy is that "Everyone is a Stakeholder
in Education". Our partners in the government, private, and civil
sectors understand the need for a collaboration to sustain long-term
goals in education, acknowledging that:
-
No single organization or government
ministry can achieve the vision alone, and
-
By pooling resources, there is an
increase in the potential reach of the benefits of reform.
|
| In addition to having
the support of the Bermudian, Bahamian,
and Jamaican Governments, schools, and civil
societies, the IECF has garnered the investment of more than 70 private
sector organizations to date. |

- Enhanced ability to compete globally for knowledge-based jobs
