Prime Minister, the Most Hon. Andrew Holness, is calling on teachers and other critical stakeholders in the education system to come together to enable the success of the Primary Exit Profile (PEP).

He made the appeal as he addressed the 2018 Prime Minister’s Medal of Appreciation for Service to Education awards ceremony at Jamaica House last evening (June 27).

Marcia Lewis-Brown began her journey as an educator in 1983 with the desire to be the best, a goal many will agree she has achieved.

Prime Minister, the Most Hon. Andrew Holness, has hailed and extended gratitude to the country’s educators who he said, continue to go “above and beyond” for the development of the nation’s children.

Having served the teaching profession for over 37 years, Ivorine Pauline Pitters views her nomination for the Prime Minister’s Medal of Appreciation for service to education as a highlight of her career.

Forty teachers, who have contributed significantly to the development of education in Jamaica, will be honoured with the Prime Minister’s Medal of Appreciation.
