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.

Krista is heard internationally again!!

John Gray student Krista has been heard internationally yet again as she spoke the closing words of Professor Stephen Heppell's closing presentation to hundreds of delegates of the Annual cepfi Conference in San Diego this week.

The video, originally filmed for the World Ministers of Education Conference in London 2008, still really sums up the important message about the real feeling of students and their ambitions for their future!

When she filmed this before Christmas 2007, she could never have predicted how often her own words have been shown all round the world. She really has summed up the feeling of students - they want to be noticed not just in their own country, but in the whole world!! (GL)
