Generally, the cost is $1,500 U.S. dollars to send one child to high school in Jamaica for one year. The minimum wage in Jamaica is approximately $250 U.S. dollars per month. Accordingly, it is a severe challenge for the working poor to provide the adequate resources to send children to public high schools in Jamaica. CEF’s goal is to help to provide meaningful access to High School education for children in financial need, in order that youth may acquire essential tools to positively transform their own lives. Education that essential foundational tool and leads to individual empowerment and betterment of society.” Caribbean Education Foundation sends a “BIG THANK YOU” to its 2012 CEF EDUCATION AMBASSADORS, who made the High School Scholarships possible.
