Can (or rather should) Jamaican HS kids learn to do the same?

[Islandman]

Sure, but since it is such a specialized area and we have so many challenges delivering a basic education to so many, the question is how do we deliver those kinds of courses to those who are ready for it.

Aaah there's the rub... Jamaicans are too busy fighting fires...and ourselves to realize where the world is going and how to START the process of catching up.

Perhaps that's where enlightened "foreigners" AKA the diaspora comes in??

We had 10 kids at this competition this year ...and more next March...with other schools & Utech now showing some interest..

It's clear that you have a mental condition/chemical imbalance that renders you unable to post sensibly.
