The #Jamaica Education Gender Gap: No Single Cause, No Simple Fix
(Photo: Martei Korley)
The performance gap is pervasive and measurable at every level. Girls consistently outperform boys from the Primary Exit Profile (PEP) examination onward, through CSEC at the secondary level, where the dropout rate is also higher for boys, and the gap is most dramatically visible at the tertiary level.
Nearly seven in ten students enrolled in Jamaican universities and other higher education institutions are women. Among female students who completed the primary exit exam, 73% went on to complete at least one CSEC subject, compared to just 53% of boys, and the gap at the CAPE (sixth form) level is even starker: 16.9% of girls versus 9% of boys.
The causes are layered and mutually reinforcing.
Culinary explanation:
Unbloomed (unburned) curry powder will never taste or look quite the way it's supposed to. The spices in most curry blends need to be bloomed (gently heated in oil or fat) to fully develop their flavour, aroma, and colour.
Blooming (burning) the curry powder in oil before adding liquids is a traditional technique that contributes significantly to the characteristic flavour and colour of the finished dish.

Every dollar. Every unit of blood. Every share of this thread. It all matters.
To experience a public hospital in Jamaica without resource, connections, or family is TRAUMATIC.
Have you ever done the walk from A&E to the cashier for bloodwork? How do ill people do that without family or support?
Where are the assigned social workers?
