The Education Transformation Oversight Committee, ETOC,  is reporting continued progress in the implementation of the recommendations of the 2022 Jamaica Education Transformation Commission Report.

Chair of ETOC Dr. Adrian Stokes, notes that work has commenced on 129 of the 365 recommendations contained in the report.

He says the overall progress in the implementation of the report, popularly termed the Patterson Report, is up to 15%. 

Dr. Stokes notes that several initiatives which were found to be lagging in the last reporting period, are now up to par.

These include increased support for the early childhood sector.

He was speaking at a quarterly press conference put on by the Education Ministry this morning.
