H.F.L.E. Curriculum Document
INTRODUCTION
The decision to review, revise and re-design the Primary Health and Family Life Education (H.F.L.E.) Curriculum had its genesis in the 1996 Agreement signed by the Standing
Committee of Ministers of Education and Health. At this meeting they re-affirmed their commitment to the strengthening of H.F.L.E. among CARICOM member states. This
agreement gave birth to the CARICOM Multi-agency H.F.L.E. Project. This UNICEF led initiative was designed to reach completion through three distinct phases:-
Phase I - Development of national H.F.L.E. policies.
Phase II - Development of country H.F.L.E. curricula.
Phase III - Training of teachers and production of resource materials.
By Cabinet Minute No. 1401-2001/16/03 the Government of Trinidad and Tobago approved the National H.F.L.E. Policy. This document was produced by an interim National
H.F.L.E. Committee which included:-
