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.

Pouring Concrete at 2.00 a.m.

Photo to follow
There really is massive determination to ensure that our new schools are built in a timely way.

To work most effectively at the site of the Clifton Hunter Campus, the contractors Tom Jones International decided to undertake the first large concrete pours at 2.00 a.m over a couple of nights.

The benefits of this are obviously that the temperatures were much cooler, and very significantly, the roads were empty, allowing the conveys of concrete trucks to get to the site much quicker!

There is really a great deal of excitement, especially amongst teachers, that work has started on these great 21st century learning environments. (GL)
