Good Morning Jamaica, always remember:

At the Primary level:
-A third of students cannot read after 6 years of primary school
- 56% cannot write
-57% could not identify information in a simple sentence

At the secondary level:
- Only 28% of students passed 5 or more subjects including both English and Math
- 70% of the 18-year-old cohort left secondary school in 2018 without a certificate

Source: The Jamaica Education Transformation Commission Report, 2021 — also known as the Patterson Report ( Professor Orlando Patterson) . I served as a Commissioner.

As far as I know, things are not much worse...or much better.

Until we can fix this at scale, nothing else matters. Not AI, not productivity...nothing.

Our people can't do much if they can't read or write.

Have a great rest of day.

@davidmullings I agree with your point to an extent. Isn't supposed to be profitable? That part I can't agree with. For public transport to be profitable, there are other methods of transport that would have to be downsized. Are we willing to explore that?

May I accept this truth in 2026.
It's okay NOT to be an expert at everything😍

Dozens of puppies are being rushed to the Jamaica Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, suffering from severe gastroenteritis, bloody diarrhoea, and agonising pain before many ultimately die.

For too many women, girls, and adolescents, this is everyday life online.

In this reel, hear from Brady Young from UNFPA in Belize on why tackling online harassment is urgent.

🏥 UNFPA & the Midwives Association of 🇯🇲 visited the Cornwall Regional Hospital, where the obstetric and antenatal units were hit hard by #HurricaneMelissa. Yet #midwives continue to show extraordinary resilience, providing life-saving care to mothers and newborns.

@ThaDervster Listen! I aspire to be a moringa tree. You ever try killing that tree? I've tried several times to kill 1 thats just in an odd location in my yard and she is indestructible.

Imagine this with me.

You wake up early and head to @TaxJamaica to get there a few minutes before 7am so your name can be logged in the 10 slots FOR THE DAY to see a Tax Advisor and its 2pm and you are yet to be seen as yet.

What's the suitable behavior at this point?

GO⬇️

@adventistchurch He really designs our purpose like a puzzle because those past experiences that I've questioned were preparing me for the current decisions, responsibilities, challenges & successes.

I see what you did there😁

@jahmekyagyal I don't know if it's a wide scale stigma but I agree that there are a few folks against it. I intend to adopt actually this year and have gotten the information from CPFSA to begin but it is laborious. My husband & I have just accepted that this may be a 5-year process ahead.

@_jevaughngordon Where is the lie? I'm now in the 10am season and loving it. I have too many memories from my years in traffic between 5-7am and I'm never going back😮‍💨.

[Sheryl-Ann Thomas-Scott @SherylannThomas]

The place for ppl in 2025 to live, do business... is laughable. So I definitely have to go in person to NIS, NHT & HEART to get the clearance letters to apply for a TCC.

Fun times🙄
