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.

LoGB announces the start of building for the new learning campuses.

Thursday saw the Leader of Government Business, the Hon. D. Kurt Tibbetts, announce to the regular Cabinet media briefing, the awarding of building contracts for two of the new secondary learning campuses. It is hoped that the awarding of the contract for the third site will be announced shortly.

Whilst the announcement included a delayed date of 2010 for the opening of all new 21st century learning environments, Mr Tibbetts also stressed that the transformation of the education service was ongoing and even accelerating.

These are really exciting times in education for the Cayman Islands. More details of other initiatives will follow in new posts over the next few days.
