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.

Professional development specialists; Michelle Swanson and Theron Cosgrave, (Associates of Prakash Nair and FNI) are in Cayman this week visiting schools, talking to Principals, teachers and students. This visit is part of the preparatory work for working with teachers to help prepare them to most effectively use the new secondary learning environments being built as well as the new primary school.

They are visiting all high schools, AEC and a number of primary schools, prior to returning to Cayman for the National Education Conference in February to run a number of workshops with teachers.

Apart from a packed itinerary on Grand Cayman, they also visit Cayman Brac to talk with staff from Cayman Brac HIgh school. (GL)
