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?
Comments made by Premier Alden McLaughlin about the limitations of legislation and prevailing cultural attitudes toward people with disabilities sparked disagreements from political candidates and parents of children with special needs.
Ebanks discussed bullying, support for teachers, learning disabilities, school integration and parental involvement. Bush, the incumbent, did not participate.
Ebanks said public school schools should be integrated by allowing non-Caymanians to 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.
