AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Immigration & Human Rights: A fresh wave of outrage follows another deadly ICE operation in Maine, with neighbours demanding an end to violent, masked enforcement. Education Reform: CXC is reshaping School-Based Assessment as generative AI rises, and Jamaican stakeholders are meeting to clarify how the new supervised approach will work. School Discipline & Attendance: Education Minister Dana Morris Dixon is pushing tougher action on truancy, including possible legal steps, while also urging parents to stay engaged after PEP and into high school. Tech Skills for Youth: The education ministry is doubling down on technical and vocational training, with plans for upgraded labs to prepare students for an AI-shifted workforce. Community & Health: Health officials urge summer safety for children—heat, poisoning, and abuse prevention—while Tufton calls for families and communities to care for lonely senior citizens. Tourism & Community Growth: Edmund Bartlett says Jamaica’s US$10B visitor goal can’t rely on hotels alone; community-based tourism must lead. Local Business Impact: Taxi operators in Greater Portmore complain JUTC routes and fare changes are cutting their daily income. Diaspora & Investing: Passport to Wealth brings Caribbean investing guidance to Canada, aiming to connect diaspora with safer, cross-border planning. Culture & Sports: KFC Star Search marks 25 years of basketball and life skills development for Jamaican youth. Entertainment: Locs at the World Cup are reshaping global perceptions of Black hair.
