Vocational Education The National Training Agency oversees vocational training in Jamaica that is provided by state vocational training centers and private academies.
Primary Education The 6 years of primary school education in Jamaica is compulsory and free. Children receive their instruction in English, and remain there between the ages of 6 and Schools may be state-owned, or private preparatory schools. Students are exposed to a wide range of subjects, including Spanish and French as 2nd languages.
Generally, Integrated Science is generally taught until the 3rd form, where students begin taking Physics, Biology and Chemistry as separate subjects. Some schools group students based on their academic achievement the year prior. This can greatly impact what subjects some students might be able to take later on in school, and what teachers they might be assigned to. Students are free to create their own curricula which must include but cannot be limited to: Mathematics and English Language all others are optional though some schools tend to make at least 1 other compulsory.
Most students take at least one foreign language. Generally students are informally classified, or classify themselves as Arts, Sciences, Industrial Arts and Business students, especially if they plan on going to 6th form. Grading: Some exams can be taken at either the Basic or General Proficiency levels, the latter being more common. Exams are graded from Grades 1 to 6 up to 7, if A-Level. Sixth Form Divided into upper and lower sixth, or grades 12 lower and 13 upper. Sixth form is an optional, two years long, advanced post secondary program, at the end of which students write the CAPE Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Exams.
CAPE and A-level exams are significantly harder than exams sat at the end of high school, and are often thought to be harder than most exams students will ever sit in university. I welcome your feedback here.
