A Look into the Sixth Form Pathway Programme

We explore the merits and potential pitfalls of the Education Ministry’s plans for a  sixth form Pathway Programme in high schools, that would see students mandated to stay enrolled in secondary education for 7 years.

The move is hoped to better prepare students for the rigors of the modern working world. However, stakeholders suggest that more consultation is needed to establish such a system, if it is to be adopted at all.

For a preliminary look into what the sixth form Pathway Programme may look like; Mitsie Harris-Dillon, President of National Parent Teacher Association of Jamaica and Owen Speid, principal of Rousseau Primary school and former president of the Jamaica Teacher’s Association, (JTA).
