The Minister who was speaking at the Jamaica Teachers Association (JTA) Conference in Montego Bay St. James, also noted that changes for teachers are imminent. Emerging from day three of the JTA’s conference, Minister Fayval Williams highlighted concerns from the 2021 education report, noting it is similar to a previous 2004 report.
