A lack of space is often cited as the reason for the segregation of Cayman’s public schools. However, no non-Caymanian child was turned away from public school this past year due to overcrowding.

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.
More than 10% of Cayman Islands public school students have significant special education needs. In the month of January, government paid more than $110,000 for SEN assistance from private contractors.
The monthly cost to provide private security services to public schools has increased by more than 150% over the last decade, from $35,600 per month to $89,700 per month.
