State Minister in the Ministry of Education, Youth and Information, Hon. Floyd Green, says there will be increased emphasis on directly incorporating information and communication technology (ICT) into various areas of the school curriculum.

ASK any student from third to fifth form at Godfrey Stewart High School in Savanna-la-Mar, Westmoreland, about a teacher they know as Mr McLeod and you’ll hear how he makes the subject of mathematics easy and relatable.

His Imperial Highness, Prince Ermias Sahle-Selassie says he will welcome assistance from Jamaican educators, in the development of the Ethiopian school system.

He cited the strides that Jamaica has made in its education system, and made an appeal for support in this area.

Director of Safety and Security in Schools at the Ministry of Education, Youth and Information, Assistant Superintendent of Police, Coleridge Minto, is commending the Black River High School, in St. Elizabeth, for its launch of the Positive Behaviour Intervention Support (PBIS) programme. The programme, an initiative of the MOEYI, aims to establish the behavioural and socio-cultural support needed for all students in a school to achieve social, emotional and academic success.

The Caribbean Maritime Institute (CMI) will be conducting free emergency response training for some of its students, as well as members of the communities surrounding the institution’s Palisadoes Road location. The initiative is part of the CMI’s mission to establish the first voluntary emergency response unit in Jamaica.
