Thomas, Emel. Education in the Commonwealth Caribbean and Netherlands Antilles. N.p.: A&C Black, 2014. 131-51. Web. 14 Oct. 2015. <https://books.google.com/books?id=NqlQAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA150&dq=Education+in+the+British+Virgin+Islands&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CDcQ6AEwAWoVChMI9_G6loHCyAIVRhw-Ch09hwGh#v=onepage&q=British%20Virgin%20Islands&f=fal>.

I will be using this book to discuss the history of the education system in the British Virgin Island and how current laws and policies came to be. Using this book I will pay special attention to the role of the economy and the role of the church in shaping how educational policies were created. I know this source is a high-quality scholarly source because it is written by a professor of early education who teaches at The University of Northampton. The author writes the majority of the book very factually and not extremely biased which will be useful to me. However a part of the section that I am looking at refers to a case study and I find that case studies often introduce minor yet apparent bias. Because of this I am not using information from the case study on my wikipedia page. By paying attention to just the cold hard facts it will be easy to avoid bias and write in a google friendly manner.

Gaible, Edmond. "Survey of ICT and Education in the Caribbean ." Info Dev. N.p., Feb. 2009. Web. 19 Oct. 2015. <https://www.infodev.org/infodev-files/resource/InfodevDocuments_597.pdf>.

I will be using this source to find information regarding the planning of primary and secondary schools in the BVI. It has school policies and how teachers should be teaching and taught. I know this is a high-quality scholarly source because I found it on a very reliable scholarly website. There does not seem to be any bias in this document, instead it is extremely fact based.

Virgin Islands Department of Education. N.p., n.d. Web. 19 Oct. 2015. <http://www.vide.vi/>.

This is the website of the department of education in the British Virgin Islands, it is government run so I know all the information will be reliable. I will use this website to discuss future plans for bettering the educational system in the BVI and the goals of the educational system in the BVI. Again there is no bias in this article, just facts.
