Thank you for reading this document.

Part 1: The beginnings.
It was a cold winter night... or so it seems to the well forget that. We are in Grenada, nothing is cold about the winter because we don't have this sort of thing here ( as yet). It is 2016 and we are looking into the wonderful history of Education Development in Grenada.
What is interesting in this context is the amount of documented evidence of the inputs that has gone before us, even to this very day.
So where do we begin, one must ask. I pause to allow you the reader to ponder on this.
"Where do one begin if seeking out the history of Education in Grenada!"
As with everything there is a "Genesis" and here is part 1. Our beginnings.
We must first go back to the days when the following when , "Slavery in Grenada was finally abolished by a British law in 1834,[11] and all slaves were freed by 1 August 1838.[12]
11 Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons (1835). Parliamentary Papers, House of Commons and Command. H.M. Stationery Office. p. 93.
12 General Report of the Emigration Commissioners. H.M. Stationery Office. 1839. p. 169.
This will make sense to the reader as we must realize that one can only speak to the things that has past in his bloodline. The before event must have and [Might I add "Still Remains"] in the blood of the British system.
So I begin by stating that 1834 may not have been a significant year for Grenada's Education System, neither 1838.
However, some level of development for the small British colony must began in 1838. The history proved otherwise,as in 1835 the Negro Education Grant provided the necessary support:"That his Majesty be enabled to defray any such expense as may incur in establishing an efficient stipendiary magistracy in the colonies and in aiding the local legislatures in providing for the religious and moral education of the negro population to be emancipated".
Not this is where we need to study deep and hard to understand our Education today in Grenada and why it is as it is.
The Grant Fund was established to for the intended purpose as outlined above, and was administrated by the Methodist Missionary Society.
So this is my first part ( Part 1 of 100)... I leave your with these questions.
1. Just imagine that you are in a country where the economy is plantations, sugar cane, oranges, etc. Yes I am a slave just getting off the plantation life, harsh and unfair treatment. Then I am freed.
What are some of my personal goals from this point? What are some of my Master's economic concerns from this point.
We investigate these in part 2 as guiding principles within the context of Education.
