Persons within the country’s teaching profession will have to wait a bit more for the Jamaica Teaching Council (JTC) bill to be passed into law.

The JTC bill, which is intended to professionalize, regulate and elevate the sector, has been a point of contention, with the Opposition People’s National Party and the Jamaica Teachers’ Association raising concerns about its implications for teachers’ autonomy and the future of education.

Chairman of the Education Transformation Oversight Committee (E-TOC), Dr. Adrian Stokes, says more deliberations and consultations with stakeholders will occur before the bill is legislated.

Dr. Stokes is calling for a designated timeline for feedback to be presented.

Dr. Stokes was speaking during an E-TOC press conference at Jamaican House this morning.
