RECONCILING ADULT EDUCATION NEEDS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: THE CASE OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO SMALL SCALE FISHERIES
Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2013, Vol 52, Issue 3
Abstract
The critical role of fsheries to food security and coastal livelihoods, as well as its impact on dwindling marine resources, motivate an examination of the degree to which education and training needs in the fsheries sector are met. This paper investigates the specifc case of Trinidad and Tobago small scale fshers, a particularly vulnerable population whose livelihoods are bidirectionally linked to sustainable development. The challenges of declining fsh stocks, increasing market prices and the ferce competition presented by technology-based fshing techniques, present a persuasive case for context-appropriate education and training for Trinidad and Tobago small scale fsherfolk. Research was conducted to examine the training needs of these fsherfolk, as articulated by key industry stakeholders, including the fshers themselves; and to set these needs off against available training provisions. A reconciliation strategy for education and training was developed to respond to the needs of the industry as well as to the Caribbean priorities of sustainable development and fsheries management.
