Jamaica Gleaner In Focus
published: Sunday | June 27, 2004

Analyse this!
Happy Grove High School and GSAT scores

AS THE opening up of the true state of education in our country continues, I would like to add to the commentary by way of an analysis of the 2004 GSAT students placed at the school I serve: Happy Grove High School. (Lindsay)

The power of ragamuffin
IT'S PARADOXICAL but true: the poor is a powerful grouping - certainly in Jamaica. The poor, especially the militant, assertive urban poor, has exercised enormous influence over Jamaican politics and, indeed, civil society. (Boyne)


Nero is still fiddling
WHEN THE Gleaner's headline 'Jagdeo slams Ja' jumped out at me as I passed a newsstand on my way to work on the morning of June 24, 2004, I thought that Guyana had scored a 'touchdown' against the Reggae Boyz in an unpublicised game. (Simms)


Globalisation and the wealth of a nation
SOME VERY important events have happened in the past few weeks that signal Jamaica's increasing involvement in globalisation in a positive way. (Buddan)


Education and empowerment
AS A teacher of teachers, I believe each person learns differently, responds differently to different experiences and shows what he/she has learned in different ways - all of which present a challenge to teaching.
