For such a small island, Antigua & Barbuda has a surprising number of educational facilities. The literacy rate is one of the highest in the Eastern Caribbean at 99 percent and education is compulsory between the ages of 5 and 16 years.

The island has several private and international schools, including one offering the prestigious International Baccalaureate. There are no less than three medical schools, a hospitality institute, an international technology academy and the jewel in the crown of the education offer: the fourth landed campus at Five Islands of the University of the West Indies.

Since education plays a major role in the growth and progress of both society and individuals, Antigua & Barbuda has a clear vision about the importance of its human capital development and invests in its education system. Whether you are looking for a good educational offer for your children, or well-qualified and trained employees for your business venture, Antigua & Barbuda can fulfil your every need.
