pr<strong>of</strong>essional certificates as well as other forms <strong>of</strong> tertiary institutions in<br />

3.6.6 Financing <strong>of</strong> Education<br />
To be able to adequately finance <strong>edu</strong>cation in Jamaica, the<br />

which is designed for the children aged 6-15 years is free particularly in<br />
all the public primary schools.<br />
