Kingston, Jamaica, 11 March 2021. The Cuban Ambassador to Jamaica, Mrs. Inés Fors Fernández, received today at the headquarters of the diplomatic mission Ms. Lavern Stewart, principal of the Fidel Castro Campus of the Anchovy High School, and Mr. Calvin Brown, board chairman in that educational institution, located in the northern city of Montpellier, St. James.
During a pleasant conversation they exchanged opinions on the origins of the centre and its historical significance; the bonds that unite Cuba and Jamaica and the potential for cooperation with Cuban educational institutions.
The Fidel Castro Campus was officially opened on September 11, 2015 by former Prime Minister, the Hon. Portia Simpson Miller, who said during the ceremony: “The modern history of Jamaica could not be accurately told without making special mention of the great friendship that our people have shared with the Cuban people.”
Cooperation between the Greatest Island in the Antilles and Jamaica in the education sector also includes the donation -in the seventies- of three other schools, the “Garvey Maceo”, the “José Martí” and the “G. C. Foster,” the latter dedicated to teaching physical education and sports. Furthermore, hundreds of Cuban teachers have contributed to public education in this sister Caribbean nation for more than twenty years.
