If you want to see the future of education, you’re in the right spot.
In 2005 the Cayman Islands made an unprecedented pledge to bring about much needed transformation of their education system. Leveraging the advantages of a small population and thriving economy the changes have been far-reaching on a scale that other countries find difficult to rival. Driven by a committed government and some of the most brilliant minds on the international scene, the Cayman Islands are not only embracing but increasingly leading cutting edge developments in technology, facilities, human capital development and teaching and learning styles. The world is watching this one, so leave your comments, link to the site and get in touch if you want to know more.

Be Very Afraid IV




This morning the Education Minister, Hon. Alden McLaughlin, joined children in the Little Cayman Education Service as they used their new technology (see earlier entries) to beam into the 'Be Very Afraid 4' event in London organised by the British TV and Film academy, BAFTA, which showcases digital creativity in schools. On the three-way link between Professor Heppell at BAFTA and the Little Cayman Education Service, the Minister commented on what a wonderful tool the technology is for the children in Little Cayman to open up opportunities all over the world. 'Be Very Afraid' is now in its fourth year and Profesor Heppell explained that they had all sorts of stars of TV and film passing through this year! This truly puts Cayman on the international stage for its growing use of ICT in schools. - LP

I find this truly exciting and amazing, really. Being an 'old school' product, it is almost unimaginable the way that technology is changing the conventional systems of education. The fact that The Little Cayman Learning Centre is leading the way in this very innovative concept, adds an even more interest to what is already a very interesting story.
