Damion Crawford, Opposition Spokesman on Education, Advocates for Improved Teacher Compensation – Damion Crawford, the Opposition Spokesman on Education, has weighed in on the challenges facing the education system and put forth recommendations to bolster Jamaica’s competitiveness in the teacher recruitment market. He emphasizes the need for the government to enhance salary packages and incentives to attract and retain educators effectively.
Crawford underscores the importance of creating a more appealing and competitive environment for teachers. Among his key proposals is the idea that the government should disburse teachers’ full salaries at the beginning of the summer break. He believes that implementing this change will reduce the number of teachers opting to resign at the end of the holiday period, immediately after receiving their salary. Watch the report:
