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
