“…Specifically, darker-skinned Jamaicans have access to significantly fewer household amenities and overall years of education than lighter-skinned or White Jamaicans (Kelly, 2020), while the latter enjoy significantly higher levels of education and job status (Kelly and Bailey, 2018). As Chunnu (2016) contends, “educational problems in Jamaica derive from how the Jamaican school system has been structured historically” and “is vital to understanding some of Jamaica’s school system failures” (p. 34). The structure of the current system that emerged will be discussed next.…”

Sixty years after Jamaica’s independence, remnants of imperialism are visible. It has been argued that the education system has not escaped these roots and that the system encourages and thus maintains the pre-independent tiered class structure and perpetuates education as an elitist entitlement. A brief review of the genesis of primary schools reveals they resulted from donations of the rich plantocracy and so curriculum, ethos, and job preparation were based on Eurocentric beliefs and approaches that sought to “civilize” newly freed slaves. Post-independent Jamaica continues to depend on and pander significantly to persons of a higher socioeconomic status, invariably marginalizing those who are not. This has had implications for access to and equity in education. Through a review of several educational policies implemented by the government of Jamaica, this paper critically examines the Jamaican education system at the primary and secondary levels to evaluate how policy interventions over the last three decades have laid the foundation for and align with the Ministry of Education’s current mantra of “ Every Child can Learn, Every Child Must Learn.” Furthermore, the paper will recommend approaches that engender social justice and may mitigate against children being further marginalized.

“…The Jamaican education sector is an amalgamation of financial, social, and political decisions that emerged over several decades (Chunnu, 2016; Miller, 1999). There have been changing administrations with consequent evolving policies, initiatives, and programs and, therefore, a series of transitions before becoming what is now education’s status quo.…”

“…No interior do Brasil, é comum encontrar crianças que passam mais tempo no deslocamento para a escola do que em sala de aula, acrescentando-se a isso o fato de que muitas dessas crianças participam precocemente dos trabalhos do campo como complemento de renda e subsistência da família (LINHARES, 2008;SOUSA;ALBERTO, 2008). Estudos anteriores no Caribe mostraram que oferecer uma educação gratuita não tem sido um atrativo nas taxas de matrícula e mais de 60% dos alunos não atingem o domínio da alfabetização no quarto ano (CHUNNU, 2016;ROSE, 2017 de baixa renda não acreditarem na educação como um valor fundamental (COOK;JENNINGS, 2016). No Brasil, muitas mudanças estão ocorrendo para melhorar a eficácia da educação.…”

A matriz de importância e desempenho para a análise dos atributos é uma técnica analítica utilizada que produz prescrições para o gerenciamento da satisfação dos clientes. O objetivo do estudo foi investigar as percepções dos atributos de qualidade e a satisfação dos pais com os serviços disponibilizados pela Rede Municipal de Ensino do município de Rio do Sul (SC). Com a aplicação de um survey, a qualidade do serviço e a satisfação foram avaliadas por seis dimensões e 43 atributos. Os resultados demonstram empiricamente que as implicações gerenciais requerem ações urgentes em 11 atributos que apresentaram alta importância e baixo desempenho.
