More than 50 young people received Bronze and Silver Duke of Edinburgh medals and certificates at the Turtle Centre recently.
Education Minister returns for a 2nd term, learning gaps in primary, girls outperform boys (again), UCCI graduation, and more!
Juliana O’Connor-Connolly has been named Minister of Education for Premier Wayne Panton’s PACT government, following 4 years in the position with the former Progressives-led government.
Should the education system be governed by a regulatory body instead of the ministry? How about a single ‘education czar’? Should every Caymanian receive universal free education from preschool to college? What about merging Cayman’s local universities?
Incumbent Bernie Bush said higher education should be free for Caymanians, while challenger Rolston Anglin said Caymanians at overseas universities should have jobs lined up before they return to the Cayman Islands.
Former Education Minister Anglin discusses an expansion of CIFEC’s technical and vocational offerings, and the challenge of attempting to integrate non-Caymanians into the public school system.
