AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Education & AI Policy: The Jamaica Teachers’ Association is calling for a national AI policy for schools after CXC moves to overhaul the School-Based Assessment (SBA) framework, including phasing out traditional SBA for most non-practical CSEC/CAPE subjects from 2027. Procurement & MSMEs: The Public Procurement Commission will release by end of July the MSME list for the Government’s 20% set-aside programme, while the SBAJ pushes formalisation and a “Buy Local” campaign to boost locally grown agriculture and cut food import dependence. Tourism Strategy: Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett says Jamaica won’t hit US$10b in tourism earnings just by building 20,000 new hotel rooms, urging stronger community tourism and locally owned enterprises. Transport & Infrastructure: Works Minister Robert Morgan announced immediate and long-term steps to ease Mammee Bay toll plaza congestion, including two extra toll lanes and stronger E-Pass promotion; Transport Minister Daryl Vaz also reiterated a zero-tolerance demerit points system from Oct 1, 2026. Agriculture Enforcement: The Agricultural Protection Branch says it’s intensifying action against illegal livestock grazing, impounding cattle worth about $1.6m in St Elizabeth. Trade & Shipping Sanctions: CMA CGM is leaving Cuba-bound containers stranded in Kingston, including millions of syringes, citing US sanctions. Gaming Oversight: Jamaica’s Casino Gaming Commission says it has deepened investigations capacity ahead of the casino rollout through training for compliance and financial crime work.
