520			_aThroughout the Caribbean there has been an escalated in public and official debates about what seems to be an upsurge in deviant behaviour among the youth. Consequently, governments have been turning to the educational system to assist by, for example, implementing what some call "citizenry education" in order to help alleviate the problem. In all of this social studies is regarded as having a vital role since its specific purpose for being on the curriculum is to impart citizenship education. This monograph examines the role and challenges of social studies in achieving citizenship education or cultivating democratic minded citizens in the Caribbean and offer a theoretical and conceptual framework for understanding the role of social studies in Caribbean schools curriculum. The main points are summarized in a set of recommendation which suggest that if social studies is to effectively achieve the critical goal of citizenship education in the Caribbean context, certain fundamental changes will need to be made to the way the subject is conceptualized, supported, financed, perceived, taught and examined among other things.
