Cayman Islands Ministry of Education, Employment & Gender Affairs progress report:

May 29, 2014 marks one year since Hon. Tara Rivers, Minister, and Mr. Winston Connolly, Councillor, joined the Ministry of Education, Employment & Gender Affairs (MEE&GA). During the past year they have been extremely busy driving a policy agenda to make improvements and accomplish key objectives in the various subject areas that fall under the Ministry.

In an effort to highlight and inform the public of the work undertaken and achieved in the first year, the Ministry has released a one year progress report outlining the many key accomplishments to date.

“This year has been a very productive one. We have made great strides in many key areas in a relatively short period of time. We still have a long way to go, but we have made tremendous progress already in this first year since taking office, and it is important for us to share this progress and the accomplishments with the country, so that the public knows exactly what we have been doing,” Minister Rivers said.

She continued, “I would like to thank everyone in my Ministry, departments and schools for their hard work during the past year. I look forward to continuing to drive the policy agenda to improve our education system, to improve our labour and employment mechanisms and to promote gender equality in all aspects of life in our country.”
