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.

Life long learning - University College opens on Cayman Brac

This week has been spectacularly important in extending opportunities for tertiary and life long learning on the small island of Cayman Brac. This week the University College of the Cayman Islands (UCCI) opened a building dedicated to providing further and higher education and offering a whole range of courses never before locally available to Brac residents.

There is real enthusiasm for this new initiative, with reportedly over 300 people already signed up for courses. This is a real demonstration of the support towards life long learning which is a key commitment of the Ministry.

In addition, it has been combined with facilities for a Brac wing of the new Civil Service College which was opened in Grand Cayman a few months ago and will provide on going professional development for civil servants.(GL)
