dc.description.abstractThe Commonwealth of Learning (COL) and the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC®) spearheaded an initiative to explore the integration of micro-credentials (MCs) in the Caribbean region’s educational infrastructure. The initiative comprises five phases – research, analysis, policy support, regulation capacity building, and education system integration – to enable the education ecosystem in the region to introduce and standardise the adoption of MCs in the secondary and post-secondary levels. This report covers Phase 1 of the project, the scoping study, which explores the adoption and potential impact of MCs across several Commonwealth Caribbean countries, with a focus on their application in democratising education and enhancing regional development. MCs offer a promising avenue for supporting educational goals in the Commonwealth Caribbean by providing flexible, targeted learning opportunities aligned with specific skills and contemporary needs. Effective implementation will require collaborative efforts to overcome existing barriers and fully harness the potential of MCs to transform the Caribbean region’s educational landscape.
