To mark 30 years of educational support in St James East Central, Member of Parliament Edmund Bartlett has announced $3 million in grants for 30 teachers in the constituency to pursue further studies.
The announcement was made Wednesday during Bartlett’s annual Teachers’ Day luncheon at the Montego Bay Convention Centre, where the veteran parliamentarian said educators would play a central role in Jamaica’s post-Hurricane Melissa recovery and long-term social transformation.
Under the initiative, each selected teacher will receive J$100,000 to pursue a course of specialisation at any tertiary institution in Jamaica.
