Abstract	Interviews were conducted with educational leaders in seven of the Caribbean islands during August and September 1994 concerning the development of a regional Curriculum Development and Materials Production and Equipment Centre (CAMPAEC). Visits to several sites, reading of background documents, and additional research were also completed. The primary view expressed was that relevant curriculum materials at different levels of the system--at the Pre-School, Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary levels of all educational institutions--were desperately required for both teachers and students. The lack of suitable print, nonprint, and electronic curricular materials was seen to constitute a significant bottleneck to educational growth and reform in the islands, and CAMPAEC has been envisaged as an education entity with the potential to provide high quality curriculum materials and equipment at affordable costs. It was further emphasized that harmonization and standardization of the curriculum across the sub-region would be a significant step in the development, acquisition, and/or production of economically viable materials. Researchers were also told that the needs were even more acute in non-formal education, notably adult literacy and parental education. This report presents the working papers of the study, which deal with issues in the areas of management, staffing, equipment and facilities, funding and cost factors, and implementation phases and stages. A summary of the findings and 17 recommendations for the implementation of the project conclude the report, and a list of persons interviewed, a table showing comparative demographic data, and a figure outlining course production processes are appended.
