In a push to strengthen governance across Jamaica’s school system, the Ministry of Education is moving to recruit board members based on schools’ specific needs and introduce payment for independent directors through a pilot programme. Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Dr Adrian Stokes, chairman of the Education Transformation Oversight Committee, said the aim is to improve the composition, effectiveness, and performance of school boards.
