Caribbean Development bank supports upgraded classroom for special needs students in Jamaica
KINGSTON, Jamaica – Students with special educational needs in Jamaica will benefit from an upgraded classroom at The Mico University College Child Assessment and Research in Education (CARE) Centre.
The facility was enhanced with support from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) and the Jamaica Social Investment Fund (JSIF), in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Skills, Youth and Information.
The classroom now includes interactive learning resources and specialised teaching tools aimed at supporting children with different learning and developmental needs. According to Education Minister Dana Morris Dixon, the improved facility will also provide a more suitable environment for specialised care for children with autism.
CDB said the investment forms part of wider efforts to improve inclusive education and access to appropriate assessment, intervention and educational support across the Caribbean.
