摘要

Policy alignment is of paramount importance when considering global objectives for inclusive and equitable education. This study utilizes epistemic network analysis (ENA) in analyzing, modeling, and visualizing the discourse patterns in policy statements of Low- and Middle-Income Caribbean countries with the United Nations (UN) Secretary General Vision Statement on Transforming Education to identify policy alignment. The results showed that although individual national education policies differed for each country, the smaller population Caribbean countries (Grenada, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent & The Grenadines) shows better alignment with the UN Secretary General Vision Statement than larger population Caribbean counties (Jamaica and Dominican Republic). This work identifies implications for policy development and implementation for national and global stakeholders.
