Some good work being done by some of these young principals. Dem nuh get cream of the crop students but them working with what them have and getting results.

Glad that we see the role the principal have to play. Lot of community involvement needed in some of these schools.

[Islandman]

Yes, if the leadership is not there no progress will be made. What I like is the attitude that these young principals have working under VERY difficult conditions. They are not waiting on Ministry to solve everything as they know that they alone cannot do it.

Wish we had about 300 of these principals. These are the schools that give us the real measure of the state of education in Jamaica.

Noice!! It seems all is not lost for JA education. Leadership is key

It is schools like those featured that really hold the key to improving the system...not the so called traditional schools with relatively nuff resources and better quality student intake

The Ministry should study these schools (get some university to assist) and develop a "best practices" program....migrate that over time to other schools
