The Reform of Jamaica's Education (2021) – Secondary Schools

Checkmate

The Reform of Education in Jamaica 2021 Report was launched on Thursday January 14, 2022. Developed by the Jamaica Education Transformation Commission (JETC), which is headed by renowned sociologist Dr. Orlando Patterson, the Report is a blueprint for the establishment of a comprehensive strategy to improve student performance and educational productivity across the sector. The 342-page document has 54 prioritised recommendations which include governance and accountability; early-childhood education; teaching curriculum, and teacher training; tertiary education; technical and vocational education and training (TVET); infrastructure and technology; and finance. On this episode, we speak to Ms. Danyelle Jordan Bailey, assistant Vice President of National Secondary Students’ Council (NSSC) representative of Region 1 of the NSSC and student council president-elect at St. Hugh’s High School for Girls. She spoke on the report's recommendations to improve Jamaica's secondary education sector and some of the challenges high schools students are currently facing in the wake of covid.
