Episode Details

Jamaica’s new National Rural School Bus Service, launched in September 2025, is transforming rural education—yes, even in Kingston—with 86 students boarding daily. Manchester leads with nearly 3,000 riders, followed by Portland and St. Ann, serving over 12,000 students across 514 schools via 110 buses on 86 routes. Attendance jumped 80%, punctuality soared 90%, and sixth graders are the biggest beneficiaries. This joint government effort isn’t just moving kids—it’s leveling the playing field for every child, no matter where they live.
