YATJA records 80 per cent CXC maths pass rate over 4 years

KINGSTON, Jamaica—For many Jamaican students, mathematics can feel like an unsolvable equation. Your Actuary Tutor JA (YATJA) believes it has found part of the answer: start early, teach differently and tackle the fear as well as the figures.

For the past four years, YATJA says students participating in its CXC Mathematics Boot Camp have consistently recorded an 80 per cent pass rate, encouraging the organisation to expand its programmes and school partnerships.

Founder and lead instructor Sean Gillings believes strong mathematics skills are becoming increasingly important as technology and STEM reshape the global workplace.
