The OECS and the World Bank Group are exploring the possibility of developing a regional project on skills development and post-secondary education to address the challenges emerging amid the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Your answers to this survey will be crucial to ensure that your views are taken into account. Completing the questionnaire should take you approximately 5-10 minutes. The responses will guide a technical workshop planned for March 16th 2021 between the World Bank and OECS.

Please submit your response to this survey by March 12th 2021.

All your answers will be treated as confidential.

We thank you very much in advance for your time and participation.
