Jamaica Is Now a STEM-focused Island

In today’s world of groundbreaking innovations, the opening ceremony of the Future Ready International Conference at UTECH shows our commitment to improving STEM education in Jamaica.
Your government is focused on preparing Jamaica for the future by taking various steps, such as
- Building six new STEM schools and a performing arts school.
- Providing free Wi-Fi and broadband access.
- Giving students tablets and laptops into schools.
- Opening four Centers of Excellence and two STEAM labs at HEART/NSTA institutions.
- Launching Digital Jamaica initiatives, and offering STEM scholarships.
I am proud to say that Jamaica is now a STEM-focused island.
This means we are dedicated to encouraging innovation, boosting our economy, and helping everyone in our society succeed in the global knowledge economy.
Through a collaborative effort involving government, private sector, academia, and civil society, we will make this vision a reality.
