Under the theme, Best Practices in Higher Education: The Way Forward for the Caribbean”, II CCHE will focus on Quality Assurance and Recognition of Studies, Titles and Diplomas; Research Management and Impact; and the Financing of Higher Education. The presenters, facilitators and expert discussants from across the wider Caribbean and internationally have been tasked with the formulation of recommendations of ways in which to respond to some of the challenges facing Higher Education Institutions, as identified in the conference subthemes, and so strengthen their capacity. II CCHE will also facilitate more extensive partnerships among participants and with other education stakeholders to achieve common regional goals. Within the framework of the first Caribbean Conference on Higher Education (Paramaribo, Suriname, 2010), the conference will consider and contrast emerging needs and new commitments and enunciate a new Declaration and comprehensive regional plan of action.
