Aspects of Education: Jamaica 1850-1914    

 

- I am in the process of reorganising some of my sites on Jamaican

education, to consolidate them at this site.

Jamaicans at Howard, 1890-1940                                                                                  

- Howard University in Washington, D.C., has played an important role

in Jamaica's educational history, but most people, even Howard

graduates, do not seem to realise that Jamaicans have been attending

Howard since the late 1880s, and that more than 30 Jamaicans had

graduated there before the 1914-18 war.

 

- during the second half of the 19th century, the most prominent

and influencial secondary high school for boys in Kingston, and

indeed Jamaica, was one that most Jamaicans have never heard of:

even academic works on the history of Jamaican education do not

mention it.

Jamaica and the British Museum

- for at least two centuries there were important links between Jamaica and the British Museum
