Diaspora urged to be more involved in education revolution
Published:Monday | June 22, 2015
Education professionals have called for more participation from Jamaicans, especially those overseas, to assist in further development of the sector. Dr Renee Rattray, director of education programmes at the JN Foundation, while referencing the continued low performance in mathematics and English, charged that the education sector needs an urgent injection of innovation to treat the critical problems besetting the system.
"I am convinced that students don't have time! All they have is now!" Dr Rattray maintained in her presentation to the Diaspora conference last Tuesday. "Students cannot wait for more resources to be provided or for Parliament to review, amend or pass the next act, policy or regulation; they can't wait for the next visit by the education officer, or for teachers to get higher wages. They can't wait for a poorly performing principal or teacher to retire in two years. They don't have time!"
