It became a British colony in 1655. Well over 90 per cent of its population is of African origin while the rest came from East Indians, Chinese Syrians, Lebanese as well as whites. The 1982 census put the Jamaica's population as 2,190,357. Like other British colonies, English is its official language. It, however, got her independent in 1962. 3.6.2 Introduction of Formal Education The earliest schools in Jamaica were mostly controlled by trustees who were elected by the voters of a parish or by Anglican Clergymen. However, the establishment of Negro Education Grant brought the education administration under the various Christian Missions through the committee that were set up by their missionary headquarters in England. It is the responsibility of each religious society to supervise its schools, to provide textbooks and also to recommend appropriate 72
teaching methods. The negro Education Grant was stopped in 1845 as a result of which the colonial legislatures were saddled with the responsibility of providing education for the people in the country. This change in the provision of education led the legislatures to give preference to industrial education. By 1850, perhaps the first Government Normal School of Industry was founded. The office of superintendent of schools as well as education department was set up after Jamaica had become a Crown colony in 1866. It was this department that saw to the efficiency of education through supervision and collection of school fees. Based on the recommendation made by the Royal Commission of 1885, an education board was set up in 1892 with the representatives of the religious organizations as members of the board as well as Education Superintendent as the Ex-officio chairman. Managers were the local administrators of school since majority of such managers were the proprietors of schools. In order to involve the Jamaica's local people in the educational administration, fourteen parish school boards were founded in the year 1914. The members’ appointment was done by the governor on the basis of the recommendations made by the schools' managers as well as another local government body. Also, twenty-one district school boards were appointed based on the recommendation made by the parish school boards. However, after the reorganization of the school board as a result of the recommendations made by the legislative committee of 1926, the following were to see to the improvement of education department. (a) Director of Education (b) Deputy Director of Education (c) 3 Chief Inspectors of Education (d) Inspectors of Education and (e) Assistant Inspectors of Education 3.6.3 Stages of Education The system of education in Jamaica was a resemblance of the traditional British education system.
