The Reform of Education in Jamaica, 2021 Report

Abstract

In this document, five fundamental principles motivate the objectives and recommendations for the reform of Jamaica’s education system: organizational coherence in the governance of education, internal and external systemic alignment in its functioning, a pedagogic transformation focused on the instructional core of learning as a collaborative process, a revision of the curriculum grounded in the complementary learning of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the ARTS, and Mathematics) and SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) disciplines, and the vigorous pursuit of equity.
