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.

UK Media writing about the George Hicks Campus

The highly reputable UK newspaper 'The Guardian' conducted a telephone interview with Cayman staff today for an article in its regular 'Schools of the Future' Supplement. The story was specifically about the very successful splitting of the large George Hicks High School into the four smaller schools on one campus which opened in September 2006, and the impact it has had specifically on the students and their learning.

This is further demonstration of the international interest in the transformation of the Cayman Islands education service. The interview was with Ms Lyneth Monteith, School Leader of Leading Edge High School and Gareth Long, Strategic Development Advisor (Education) from the Ministry.

The resulting five hundred word story will be published in September - watch this blog for a link to it in the future. (GL)
