According to her, enough money has not been pumped into education and many school buildings remain unsuitable for learning.
Quoting World Bank data, the JTA head said Jamaica is spending half of what its Caribbean neighbours are spending on education.
According to the data, Jamaica is spending US$314 on each student at the primary level and US$460 on a secondary level student.
This is almost two times less than the amount spent on education by other Caribbean countries.
