Education

Jonathan Earle, a Jamaican-born associate dean of student affairs at the University of Florida College of Engineering, is one of fewer than a dozen people nationwide to receive a Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring.

With all the negative stories on the Jamaican education system who would have thought that there would be some positive news coming out of Grand Britannia. A friend of mine who is a teacher by profession sent me this story of Black teacher who says moving to Jamaica will give her daughter a better education. Such a pronouncement is never played up in the media yet we focus on “banning” Dutty Wine and Passa Passa.
