2011 AND BEYOND

For the immediate future our priorities remain to secure further operational project funding for the 2011/2012 financial year and, ideally, to secure funding for an additional two years beyond that. The office is presently operating on a very lean staff complement and, if we are to build on the work undertaken by Dr Nuttall and address the challenges facing many of the schools in terms of quality education, it is imperative that we secure the services of a top flight Education Director. This person will drive the recommendations contained in the education roadmap prepared by Dr Nuttall and at the same time align the pilot schools with the vision and mission of the HSRP and formulate education plans for each school.

What we are recognising more and more is the need to build strong partnerships. We are looking at the founding churches as possible partners in fulfilling the mandate of the HSRP. At the same time there are many corporate entities that have resources which they are able to make available to enhance education. It is important for us to broker agreements with these potential partners so that we can effectively address the dire need for improving the quality of our educational output.
