I think we tend to focus too much on the glass half empty and not see the glass half full. As I read the article on integration, I realized that in Antigua, we have a lot of elements in place, there is just a lack of harmonization and commitment. The Ministry of Information has the knack for obtaining resources but not the educational background to effect integration. The Ministry of Education needs to become proactive and stop allowing other Ministries and public opinion to direct its actions.
I have been trying to implement integration in my school. The most difficult part is teacher attitude. I think the attitude stems from fear. The teachers who have embraced the idea get more accomplished and so do the students. The teachers also develop their skills. The other teachers claim that their skills are inadequate but need to realize that if they engage in integration they will develop the skills needed.
