Critical Creative Triggers to social and economic development
Educators at his city school might have breathed a sigh of
relief at seeming exoneration from the incident in which a 12 year old in
school uniform was gunned down in ‘broad daylight’ on the edge of the capital
city a few weeks ago after it seemed that his grandmother had fabricated her
claim that he was on the streets that day after being turned away from school
for a breach of the school’s dress code.
It seemed to be wishful thinking of the grandmother of the
victim who was not-quite-a-child-not-yet-a-young-man that it was the oft-touted
over-onerous education system that was the cause of his being on the streets on
that ill-fated day as in her mind he loved school, his classes and the learning
opportunities it provided, if not as a path out of the trigger-loving company
that he might have fallen into.
And while fingers turned to pointing to the home and the
community, of the victim, and later the police and law enforcement (or lack
thereof), and further extended to the society and its tug-of-war politics, none
of these, nor the educators and the education system could be exonerated as a
factor in the echoes of gunshots and trigger-happy, gun-toting youths who seem
to be dominating the criminal landscape in increasing numbers, and not just
from the recent past.
If these systems and institutions cannot attract the young;
if the communities and families cannot emanate a different kind of aura;
reorient their view of themselves and their value and worth to our society;
their historical and cultural sense of themselves; if the education system
cannot deliver more substantively on the promise of the value and potential of
learning and schooling and deliver these to young minds in forms that are as
creative and exciting, and with the kinds of rewards as gun handling may be –
economically as well as in terms of social recognition and value then the future trends seem inevitable.
If the school system was offering and delivering education
in forms that could effectively counter the culture of the streets – perhaps
the young man would have been in school, working towards fulfilling his
grandmother’s vision of his potential. Much in the wrong, but very much in the
right too, the grandmother’s initial claim that it was the school’s stickler to
the rules that left her child on the streets, peppered as it was with a
long-held tinge of the philosophical truth behind our school system – that ‘the
purpose of education is to form, not to inform,’ as captured in the Naipaulian
anecdote and a host of literary and other representations.
In over half a century of our political Independence,
schools still wear their colonial garb; the creativity that spring from the
core and centre of our citizens are still relegated to the periphery. We claim,
for example, progress that cultural components as the steelband and creativity
of the Carnival arts have been pulled from the periphery and are now in the
school syllabus, but it is the very fact that they are being taught as subjects,
and not positioned and recognised as core drivers of social change that signal
our shortsightedness. That is to say, that the approach is still skewed. There
are education facilities elsewhere that are using Carnival and our creative
arts – literature, music, drama, design- to teach critical thinking from the
cradle in kindergartens – the kind of education that will cultivate discerning
youths with critical ability to make effective life choices and weigh the
options of a trigger happy life or one that triggers his creative potential.
This is replicated at the level of national planning and
budgeting which continue to relegates the creative sectors to shallow song and
dance comic relief value rather than as the core economic and social driver of
change that it is and that has a place not just in a ministry of culture but as
a driving force of those taken more seriously – the hard knox ministries of
finance, industry and trade, for example.
Demokrissy (www.kris-rampersad.blogspot.com)
was one of the first forums to point out that more strategic thinking would
foresee this kind of critical creative role for a South Campus of the
University of the West Indies, for example. (See this blog) That rather than focus on the traditional
career in law, that it could become an institution that rescues the UWI from
its traditional failings and effectively harness and unleash the rich,
unexplored, undervalued and understudied potential of the south’s ecological, geophysical,
cultural, agricultural and industrial heritage in conjunction with its
traditional value for the energy economy toward a brave new world of new
economic and social opportunity that could stimulate national growth and
progress
Despite being one of the world’s best options of becoming a
model for development, we are a long way
from weaning development from its traditional leanings, to unleash that
potential. For more see: Demokrissy: www.kris-rampersad.blogspot.com

SIDS education culture agenda before UNESCO Executive Board
Details of funds and activities that would impact Small Island Developing States (SIDS) within UNESCO will come before the UNESCO Executive Board’s 197th session in Paris next week.
This was among items promoted by Trinidad and Tobago with Caribbean and SIDS colleagues at the Executive Board’s spring sitting in April 2015. It has hadwidespread support from SIDS and other states of the 58-member Executive Board.
While SIDS has been on the agenda of UNESCO for some time, we felt that UNESCO’s focus on actions should be sharpened, and the budgets available to implement these be specified so as to not be lost among the wide range of activities of UNESCO in the spheres of education, culture, information and communications and science.
We requested the Director General to present specific details of UNESCO’s focus on SIDS so as to assess what gaps needed to be filled, whether in relation to programmes or budgets.
Some 45 other items will receive the Board’s attention over the two week period including the contribution of the programme on Management of Social Transformations to the UN Post 2015 agenda.
Trinidad and Tobago hosted the Latin American and Caribbean MOST Ministers in 2012 while I was chair of the National Commission for UNESCO.
The Execitive Board will also consider proposals to introduce an International Day for the defence of the mangrove ecosystem and an International Access to Information Day; the contribution of UNESCO to combating climate change in COP 21; and UNESCO’s relations with non-governmental partners.
The Executive Board will further consider a protocol to set up a Conciliation and Good Offices Commission that would settle disputes between States Parties to the Convention against Discrimination in Education, and a roadmap for UNESCO’s programme on preventing and addressing school-related gender-based violence.
It will examine recommendations for Promotion and Use of Multilingualism and Universal Access to Cyberspace, on the Status of the Artist, Status of Teachers (CEART) and Higher-Education Teaching Personnel, and reports on the implementation of the Information for All Programme (IFAP, 2014-2015).
Enhancing UNESCO’s Contributions to Promote Culture of Respect; reinforcement of UNESCO’s action for the protection of culture and the promotion of cultural pluralism; preparation of a global convention on the recognition of higher education qualifications; the outcomes of the World Education Forum 2015 and geographical distribution and gender balance of the staff of the UNESCO Secretariat are other agenda items that are of particular relevance to Trinidad and Tobago and the Latin Americans and Caribbean regions.

Economic Options Governments cannot ignore Budget2015 The Emperor's New Tools
Slow, that is, in comparison to where it can be, with the natural and human resource base it has and what it could achieve with such a range of heritage resources from the technological and industrial of the energy sector to its geophysical and multicultural amalgam.
Add to that the grip of politically-perpetuated divisiveness that has seeped - some may want to believe, inobtrusively (some of us, otherwise) - into the psyche on display on social media during and post- election-mania, and which continuously surfaces in the ways in which our institutions function; the perpetually-in-crisis-for-the-last-decade integrity commission for instance and which has contributed in no small measure to such economic and socio-cultural retardation.
What suffers in all of this is - apart from denying ourselves access to an enormous economic esoteric resource base that can open up new income generating, employment and avenues for prosperity for every segment of our society - we are also stifling the socio-cultural impacts effective inclusive orientations, outlooks, programmes and actions can have on a society.
As a small island state, with limited land space, bounded by the sea, and a population, numerically small albeit with boundless skills, talented and creativity, we cannot afford to ignore that those elements considered our limitations are also our strengths..
The historical demarcations that continue to challenge the forging, and forging ahead of our society, remain the ongoing challenge of political governance.
It was for the last regime and those that preceded it, and it will remain the challenge of this regime.

T&T Author To Chair UNESCO Education Commission
Trinidad author to chair UNESCO Education Commission | |||||||||||
Dr Kris Rampersad, Trinidad and Tobago representative on UNESCO Executive Board, 2013 to 2017 PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad -- The particular challenges of small island developing states (SIDS), and the particular realities of Trinidad and Tobago as a small island with a continental physical and natural heritage, require special focus within UNESCO programmes and budgets, according to recommendations presented by Dr Kris Rampersad, Trinidad and Tobago representative to the UNESCO executive board during its 196th session in Paris, France. Rampersad was unanimously presented by colleagues of the Latin American and Caribbean Group (GRULAC) and accepted by the executive board to chair the Education Commission at the upcoming 38th sessions of the UNESCO general assembly to take place in November. The decision took place at the 196th session of the UNESCO executive board, on which Rampersad serves as the representative of Trinidad and Tobago. She has been unanimously elected to co-chair the executive board’s Programme and External Relations Commission for the three consecutive sessions since 2013. The general assembly and the executive board are the two governing organs of UNESCO. “These provide considerable opportunities to advance Trinidad and Tobago’s presence in UNESCO which is working to build a culture of peace and share our experiences and challenges in the region in this respect in the face of numerous challenges, including size and capacity as small island sovereign states,” she said. Education Minister Dr Tim Gopeesingh has commended Rampersad’s work on the UNESCO board and her upcoming chairmanship of Trinidad and Tobago, recognising the significant place Trinidad and Tobago has occupied within UNESCO, now celebrating its 70th anniversary. The Trinidad and Tobago representative maintained a high level of participation and representation in the numerous activities of the executive board strengthening networks with representatives of SIDS, the Commonwealth, GRULAC, and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) within UNESCO. She presented the Trinidad and Tobago national Leading for Literacy Now! project as a model approach to address challenges with literacy; and identified challenges identified in the allied National Commission Leading for Numeracy initiatives. Leading for Literacy Now was a programme introduced during her term as chair of the National Commission (2011-2015) in conjunction with declaration of a Decade for Literacy for Trinidad and Tobago implemented by the Elizabeth Crouch-headed Education Committee of the National Commission. It was inspired by UNESCO Director General Irina Bokova’s 10,000 Principal Leadership programme, with financial support from UNESCO, the ministry of education, the private sector and also represents a model UNESCO-public-private sector partnership initiative. Rampersad has actively contributed to UNESCO’s efforts over the past two years in defining actions for programmes and budgets that will meet the needs of small island states; and suggested ways of deepening synergies across UNESCO programme areas of science, education, cultural heritage conservation and advancing the creative industries, and use of information and communications to achieve greater efficiency, effectiveness and cost savings. She advocated the need to ensure balanced and equitable programme focus and allocations through the debates on UNESCO’s role in the UN post-2015 education agenda; UNESCO’s alignment with the Global Geo Parks initiative, protection of journalists, the centralisation of culture in development, and a deeper role of UNESCO Institute of Statistics in matters related to SIDS. She further participated in UNESCO’s introduction of a new International Day of University Sports, the rights to learning without fear and making classrooms safe zones, facilitation of technical and vocational education and education in the digital age; the place of information and communication technologies to advance learning of persons with disabilities; developing global citizenship, among others. Rampersad is an author and an independent media, cultural and literary development educator and consultant. She was appointed to the UNESCO executive board in 2013, following UNESCO elections in which Trinidad and Tobago polled the highest number of votes within the Group of Latin American and Caribbean Countries (GRULAC). http://www.caribbeannewsnow.com/headline-Trinidad-author-to-chair-UNESCO-Education-Commission-27489.html

Sunday, September 6, 2015
Author and former T&T Guardian Sunday editor Dr Kris Rampersad says special focus should be give to small island states by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco).
Rampersad, who represented T&T at the Unesco Executive Board during its 196th session in Paris, said because of the challenges of small states, countries like T&T required special focus within Unesco programmes and budgets.
She suggested ways of “deepening synergies in the areas of science, education, cultural heritage conservation and advancing the creative industries, and use of information and communications to achieve greater efficiency, effectiveness and cost savings.”
Rampersad also said there was a need to ensure balanced and equitable programme focus and allocations through the debates on Unesco’s role in the UN post-2015 education agenda.
She also called for “Unesco’s alignment with the Global Geo Parks initiative, protection of journalists, the centralisation of culture in development, and a deeper role of Unesco Institute of Statistics in matters related to SIDs.”
Rampersad has also advocated the rights to learning without fear, making classrooms safe zones, facilitation of technical and vocational education in the digital age, helping the disabled with ICT and developing global citizenship.

Myths of the Melting Pot: Challenge to Governing Diversity in a Multicultural Small Island Developing State
Peaceful Election Transition in a Diverse Society is another win for the People of Trinidad & Tobago!
Myths of the Melting Pot: Challenges to Governing Diversity in a Multicultural Small Island Developing State
As Trinidad and Tobago wakes up to a new Government, it faces the ongoing challenge that has continued to plague every regime since Independence in our ongoing evolution as a nation state: the inadequacies of the Constitution, the election system and institutions to accommodate an evolving hybrid and diverse society in which the people have themselves evolved new expectations. Such expectations are heightened for the apparatus of State to give effect to the national motto: Together We Aspire, Together We Achieve, and the resounding line from the National Anthem, that Here Every Creed and Race Finds an Equal Place.
The election map on this page in one sense represents that diversity - that we are not a mono-coloured society; but in many respects it does not reflect us: We are not dual coloured either. Where is the multispectrum, multicoloured permutations of which we boast and which should be allowed to freely resonate in our politics and that are within the constituencies and which have been crying out for an equal place on representations on our political maps as well.
The challenge, as the recent elections have been showing in increasing decibels, is finding a formula to effect a nation, and a state that is in our image.... The full results of how the voting went is available here:How T&T voted
Congratulations to the new Government, the new Prime Minister, the outgoing Prime Minister and the elected team of parliamentarians on both sides who are charged with forging such a path and congratulations to the people of Trinidad and Tobago who have shown once again that they are more enlightened and more mature than our systems and mechanisms as we once again peacefully transition to a change of regime despite the diversity that elsewhere in the world lead to chaos. Again, the people of Trinidad and Tobago have won!
