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.
