Context

The OECS developed the Digital OECS Harmonised Primary Curriculum (D-OHPC), a Kindergarten-to-Grade-6 curriculum bundling AI-powered lesson planners, virtual classrooms and digital resource repositories, built with more than 150 educators from eight member states. In Grenada, the Ministry of Education, Youth & Sports ran a 12-school micro-pilot before launching a full pilot for the 2025/26 school year in October 2025.

Activities

Principals at participating schools, including Grand Roy Government School and Mt Pleasant Government School in Carriacou, used the AI lesson-planning tools in everyday teaching, describing them as helpful for lesson preparation and delivery, particularly at smaller, harder-to-staff island schools.

Conclusions

The evidence to date is qualitative — principal and ministry testimonials rather than published test scores or independent evaluation of learning gains — and depends on device and connectivity access that varies between Grenada's mainland and outer islands such as Carriacou.

Implementation
Indicative cost
Medium (€50k–€500k)
Time to results
Medium (1–3 years)
Staffing & skills
OECS Commission regional curriculum team, 150+ educators from 8 member states as writers/reviewers/enrichers, Grenada Ministry of Education, Youth & Sports implementation team, School principals at participating schools (e.g. Grand Roy, Mt Pleasant Government School)

Conditions for success

  • Multi-country educator co-development for regional buy-in
  • Phased rollout from small micro-pilot to full-country pilot before regional scale-up
  • Device and connectivity provision for outer-island schools

Common failure modes

  • Device and connectivity gaps between mainland and outer islands (e.g. Carriacou) could limit reach
  • No independent evaluation yet published to confirm testimonial claims
