Rethinking School Board Leadership | Jamaica News

Published 18 hours ago
Description

The Ministry of Education is overhauling how school boards are appointed, aiming to replace political appointments with merit-based selections. New laws will set clear standards for board members and chair qualifications, with the Minister personally vetting candidates—especially in struggling schools. A national roster of qualified educators is being considered to speed up appointments, while mandatory training and “fit-and-proper” guidelines will ensure all leaders are truly capable. This bold move seeks to strengthen governance and deliver real, measurable improvements across Canada’s schools.
