At least 25 education personnel in Antigua and Barbuda have strengthened their emergency planning skills following a three-day workshop aimed at protecting students and staff and ensuring education continues during disasters.
The Education in Emergencies training, held from 28 to 30 September, brought together participants from across the country’s four school zones, including Barbuda.
The Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) delivered the workshop in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Training, UNICEF and the National Office for Disaster Services.
