KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Government is looking to roll out the Nurturing Early Scientific Thinking (NEST) programme in all early childhood institutions (ECIs) across the country by year’s end.
The NEST pilot, conducted between February and June 2025, engaged 25 early childhood institutions in Kingston and St Andrew and, according to the Minister of Science, Technology and Special Projects, Dr Andrew Wheatley, they were deliberately selected to include schools in zones of special operations, low-performing institutions, and compliant schools.
He was speaking Tuesday during his contribution to the Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives.
