Building a learning nation

The Cayman Islands are gaining recognition the world over for building world-class learning spaces which reflect both 21st-Century thinking and the islands’ rich and unique culture. Here you can share in the progress of the most innovative, exciting and highly publicised capital programme for education ever undertaken in the Caribbean. These are the reflections in real time of those who are making it happen and those whose lives will be touched; educators, parents, students, government staff, architects, planners, and providers of the services students will ultimately benefit from. The world is watching this one, so leave your comments, link to the site and get in touch if you want to know more.

Prakash Nair and Professor Stephen Heppell together

Future 'Learning Spaces' guru; Mr Prakash Nair revisited Grand Cayman for a couple of days this week to meet with architects and senior members of both the Ministry and Department of Education Services. Whilst here he joined Professor Heppell in a number of meetings and was deeply engaged in considering the concept designs moving into reality. He also played a major role in the real start of the ongoing innovative professional development plan that is in the process of being devised.

The impact of having both these internationally recognised experts in at the same time is huge and intellectually very stimulating for all education leaders involved. It is fair to say that it led to considerable very honest and constructive discussions through the week.(GL)
