Teachers Deserve More Than Praise | Jamaica News

Jamaican teachers are heroes—resilient, tireless, and often stepping in as counselors, tech experts, and more—but their superhuman efforts shouldn’t be the system’s default. After Hurricane Melissa, educators in Region Four launched an online program with volunteers working six days a week—proof of grit, but also a wake-up call: we’re asking too much without giving enough. With AI now part of daily schoolwork, teachers need ongoing, embedded training—not one-off workshops—to navigate this shift and help students use tech meaningfully. True educational progress demands investing in teacher well-being, reducing administrative burdens, and ensuring technology empowers, not overloads. Celebrating teachers is vital—but it must come with real, structural support. The future of education depends on building a system that doesn’t just admire its educators… it equips them to thrive.
