The Ministry of Education implemented a new policy on Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) at the beginning of this school year, applying to both public and private schools in the Cayman Islands.
Students receiving school-based support for potential Special Education Needs and Disabilities appear to perform markedly better on Year 11 exams than peers in the first stage of being monitored for SEND.
The percentage of Cayman Islands students identified as having Special Education Needs or Disabilities varies widely from school to school, even among public schools — which are subject to regulations that private schools are not.
