Cayman Islands schools have been trying to manage COVID-19 related absences and associated learning loss during this school year, with varying degrees of success.
The level of student performance varies significantly among Cayman Islands public primary schools, with differences in results only partly explained by assessments of students’ pre-existing “thinking abilities”, according to the Education Data Report 2021.
Students from nine schools across Grand Cayman converged on Clifton Hunter High School to participate in the fourth annual CHHS Mathematics Competition.
East End Primary School has faced significant challenges during the COVID pandemic, including student absences, staff shortages and learning loss in all core subjects. However, school leadership and staff have maintained ‘exemplary’ attitudes and implemented responses to the issues.
A team led by Minister for Education Juliana O’Connor-Connolly paid a visit to the East End Primary School as part of an ongoing tour of government primary and secondary schools.
How prepared a student is for high school could depend on which public primary school they attend.
Grand Cayman’s public secondary schools are at more than 90% of their maximum capacity, meaning that they could accommodate fewer than 200 additional students who wish to enrol.
The three candidates for East End highlighted education as one of the top issues facing the country, criticising the top-down approach that changes with every new elected government.
