Official Ministry Approval: SKOOL21 STEM Resource Series in Jamaica
SPOIZER Content & Agency Ltd. is thrilled to announce the official approval of SKOOL21’s STEM Resource Series (Grades 1–6) by Jamaica’s Ministry of Education, Youth & Information. This critical endorsement marks a major milestone in advancing future-ready STEM education across Jamaican classrooms.
Why This Matters
The approval comes at a transformative moment for Jamaican education, as the government intensifies efforts to embed integrated STEM/STEAM learning nationwide. In March 2025, Jamaica officially launched the STEAM Education in Schools Programme, targeting over 800 primary and secondary schools and backed by the British Council and National Education Trust.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Security, Dr. Horace Chang, emphasized the role of STEM in national development during the June 2025 STEM summer camp launch at UTech. He called for expanding STEM education to foster analytical thinking and innovation throughout the country.
