Jamaica Moves Forward in Education

July 5, 2013greatshapeincGreat Shape Inc, GreatShape Jamaica, humanitarian, Jamaica, literacy, volunteer

Happy Friday Everyone. We hope you enjoyed the 4th of July (which also hopefully included barbecuing and watching fireworks!). We wanted to encourage you with an article we found that supports Jamaican education which directly correlates with our mission and Great Shape! Inc.:

“Ascot High School in Greater Portmore, St. Catherine will begin offering a wider range of courses this September, including the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate and Advanced Proficiency Exam Levels.

These are the changes Education Minister Ronald Thwaites wants to see in Jamaican education.

“Put down the money so that your child can have a decent contribution to their education,” Thwaites said.

Ascot High’s additional courses will cost $3-4 million dollars. Local government officials as well as Thwaites are helping with donations of over $1 million dollars.”
