As part of its continued commitment to education, the JPS and Partners Co-operative Credit Union Limited has awarded 54 high-school bursaries and two tertiary-level scholarships to students, valued at over $4 million.

The Government is insistent that no child, particularly at the secondary level, should be denied access to education, prompting its decision to remove auxiliary fees for these institutions.

Tourism Minister, Hon. Edmund Bartlett, says the ‘Spruce Up Jamaica’ tourism summer internship programme has been playing a major role in providing well-trained and dedicated professionals for the hospitality sector.

A scholarship and financial grants totalling $2 million have been awarded to three university students by their Excellencies the Most Hon. Sir Patrick Allen and Lady Allen.

The Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture and Fisheries is to assist 196 primary schools in setting up vegetable gardens during the upcoming 2016/17 academic school year.
