Team Jaital...learning is fun: The history of education in Jamaica is perhaps best understood in the
context of the island's colonial past. The education system and its
administration were fashioned after the British system; and many of the
developments in the history of Jamaican education can be seen as
responses to events such as the abolition of slavery 1834, the advent of
suffrage in 1944, and the achievement of independence in 1962. Much of
the recent history of education in Jamaica has been driven by the
perceived need to develop "homegrown" responses to economic, social, and
political pressures on the island and in the Caribbean region (Whiteman
1994). (http://education.stateuniversity.com/pages/725/Jamaica-HISTORY-BACKGROUND.html)
