The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact children’s physical health, social and emotional well-being, as well as their learning and educational development. In addition, child abuse remains a grave concern in Grenada. Considering these challenges, the Child Month Committee has decided that the theme for Child Month 2022 will remain:

“Children’s Care and Education Matter: Let Children Grow, Glow and Flourish”.

Focus: Quality education and care for all children while promoting health and safety

Some of the activities highlighting Child Month are:

• Opening address by the Governor General
• Child Sabbath/Sunday – October 15 and 16, 2022
• Live forums highlighting the theme
• Child Month March – street marches will be within the period October 17 to 28, 2022
• Closing Address – Minister with responsibility for Education
