Education


In 1997, the Government of Barbados under the Ministry of Education in an attempt to create more spaces for the increase in entrants into Secondary Schools, opened the St. Thomas Secondary School the precursor of the Lester Vaughan Secondary School - named after a very distinguished Barbadian who assisted in the transformation of the Educational Sector as well as wrote the National Pledge of Barbados.
To date, the Lester Vaughan School is the youngest Secondary School and one of the most technologically advanced in the Island.


The Barbados Association for Children With Intellectual Challenges operates the Challenor School for both children and adults with mental retardation.

This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix".
