Our website offers free access to information about all aspects of The Department’s operations. The Department of Education in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas provides a comprehensive education for approximately 60 thousand students in just under 160 schools spread throughout our 22 inhabited islands.

Now, thanks to technology, educators, parents and students can harness this power, namely the Internet, and reap educational benefits. Across The Bahamas, this ‘tool of instruction’ has made improved communication between parents, educators and the general public a reality.

As a result of today's technology, I believe that our ordinary students will make tremendous progress and there will be no limit to what our high achievers can accomplish. Illiteracy would be greatly reduced and handicapped students would have new vistas opened to them.

For your convenience, this website contains information of special interest to parents, teachers and students, as well as participants in various organizations and members of the community. Visitors will find a wealth of information about the educational system, the teaching profession, instructional programs, school districts, policies and legislation.

We hope this website can be utilized to:

• Maintain relations with parents concerning available programs and techniques in the education of Bahamian students.
• Inform educators about new methods or techniques available in the profession of education.
• Provide updates on the progress in education for the general public.

Our aim as educators is to make use of technology to help provide the skills, knowledge and personal qualities our students require for work and life.

We welcome your feedback to help us continually improve our site. We look forward to your comments and hope you enjoy browsing our site.

Computers can remake education. Unquestionably, the remaking of education has begun!
