IECF Partners in Progress

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.  

Partners in Conference

IECF Corporate Partners are companies which recognize the benefits of contributing to education reform and the long-term significance of their contributions, including:
    • An opportunity for the private sector to support the development of a programme that is competency-based and therefore incorporates the needs of their industries
    • More educated and technologically skilled entrants to the future workforce
    • Higher standards in the future workforce
    • Increased efficiency and profitability of the productive sector
    • Enhanced ability to compete globally for knowledge-based jobs
    • Reduction in crime as a result of the heightened motivation among the youth
      (particularly young males) in society
    • Significant social improvements
    • Improvements in GDP, and
    • An opportunity for a country-wide collaborative to comprehensively impact the future competency of the a country's workforce through student learning.
