AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Slavery Reparations Push: Jamaica’s delegation delivered a landmark petition to King Charles III, asking him to refer key slavery-and-damages questions to the Privy Council—while the UK government reiterated it won’t pay reparations. Back-to-School Focus: Education officials urged violence-free, bullying-free classrooms as the 2026/27 term opened, with STETHS reopening in repaired classrooms after Hurricane Melissa. STEM for Every Career: The Scientific Research Council encouraged educators to expand STEM learning for all students, not just future scientists. Parent Pulse: NPTAJ shared mixed feelings on reopening—optimism from improved PEP/CSEC/CAPE results, but continued concern around mathematics. Community & Culture: Friends of Porus’ homecoming brought students, parents and seniors together with school support and events. Jamaican Creativity Abroad: Jamaica’s game developers are putting local culture into global play, with the Jamaica Game Developer Society highlighting growing momentum. Diaspora Spotlight: Brooklyn’s West Indian American Day Parade still faced shootings and stabbings, even as Caribbean culture filled Eastern Parkway.
