Teachers and students on the island are more fortunate than the other individuals who live on the island.They get extra holidays apart from the national holidays they get mid term which may consist of one extra day in May and October. and Ash Wednesday. They also get Christmas ,Easter and Summer holidays. Sometimes because of national examinations some schools are used as examination centers and some teachers and students get those examination days as holidays too. However some of these schools go a litter longer in the school year.

Jamaica sports education. The Jamaican education system has paved the way for the island "Olympic gold glory". Through its physical education syllabus and it dedicated physical education teachers Jamaica now reaps the benefits. The coaches are also to be commended for their dedication and effort in supporting athletes thus enabling them to stay focus .

To be an Olympic medalist is what every parent dream for his/her son or daughter, When Usain Bolt,Asafa Powell, Melanie Walker, Veronica Campbell, Shelly Ann Frazer, all won Olympic gold medals in Beijing the world was surprise, Jamaicans on the other hand were happy not surprised.
They all had access to a Jamaica sports education

There is a history of producing medal winners in track events going as far back as the London Games of 1948
Jamaica will always be seen as a gold mine for athletics .The world may wonder at our success and what is the secret, some even imply that our athletes do drugs. I recommend Jamaica as the ideal place to educate your child give him a Jamaica sports education you will not regret it.

If s/he has athletic talent it is one of the best places to develop that talent. The hilly terrain is good practicing ground to develop muscles, strengthen heart muscles and improve lungs capacity. Many of our talents in track and field are those who have gone miles over hilly terrain. The yellow yam was given as the reason why Jamaicans can run. The sickle cell trait that so many Jamaicans posses was also cited as another reason . Team work was also given as a reason also.


Jamaica Calender of Sporting Events For such a small third world country Jamaica has a tradition of performance in track and field as in Merline Ottey, Donald Quarry, Author Wint, and many others who have gone before. Jamaica has what is considered raw talent, push by motivation and a culture of competitive spirit all go to make the Jamaican Athlete shine.
One very important factor for the country’s success is, Jamaica has one of the best organized track and field programmes in the world. Although restrained by funding, the country still promotes track and field from as early as kindergarten. In Jamaica we train body and mind to achieve. Each year we look forward to which new athlete will better a Usain, or a Veronica. All year round if you follow the country’s sport calendar you will realize that there are always some sporting activities taking

place all across the island geared at preparing our athletes.
There is the yearly sport day for all kindergarten and primary schools, high schools and college; at these events students compete among themselves in organized house meets. Next there is the parish inter school sports.

From these the best are chosen for the all island sports meets such as The J.T.A. primary and all age schools meet and boys and girls Champs for high schools.The foundations for this fast show were laid as long ago in 1910,when Champs,an event designed to discover and develop the best school sprinters, was launched.
There is the intercollegiate and university sports with special emphasis on track and field geared to keep Jamaican athletes train in Jamaica to represent the country instead of performing for other countries like the USA and Canada

After these elimination and screening we arrived at our best, selected to be trained, and to compete on the international stage. This is the point that athletes with raw talent are monitored by the Jamaica Amateur Athletic Association .With the correct funding Jamaican will continue to collect glory medals internationally all because of the Jamaica sports education
