- Education in Grenada--Marxism or Pan-Africanism? [and] Churches in Grenada: Doing Theology in the Struggles of the People. [and] Grenada's New Airport: A Treat or a Threat? Alexander, E. Curtis Adult Education Airports Church Role Communism Comparative Education Curriculum Evaluation Elementary Secondary Education Foreign Countries Higher Education Literacy Education Marxism National Security Religion State Church Separation Reported are the author's personal accounts of a tour of Grenada to determine the extent to which Marxist-Leninist thought was being taught in schools, the relationship between the clergy and the government of Grenada, and whether the new international airport posed a threat to U.S. national security. In the new educational system, a Centre for Popular Education (CPE) is implementing an adult education literacy program. Curricula developed for use in the CPE program are devoid of Marxian and Pan-Africanism dogmatic thought. In his search for a liberation theological movement, the author's travels took him to churches, the National Library, lay persons, priests, and to Pope Paul's Ecumenical Centre. The present state of church-state relations is one of mutual respect and tolerance. The development of a liberation theological movement is only in its embryonic stages. A tour of the new airport showed that the airport is not a threat to anybody's security. (RM)
