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?
Malcolm Eden and Jeanna Williams said segregation of the school system is a problem that needs to be addressed.
Williams believes a major contributing factor to the deterioration of the public education system is the rising cost of living in Cayman.
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 vying for the open seat in the Savannah district discussed the local Joanna Clarke Primary School, special education and gaps between public and private schools.
