Welcome To Jamaica Computer Society Education Foundation

The Foundation is directed by a Board of Directors, with representation from the Jamaica Computer Society, the HEART Trust/NTA, the National Council on Education, the Ministry of Education, the Jamaica Teachers Association and several private sector organizations.

The vision, foresight and commitment of these administrators to the Foundation, combined with their expertise in the fields of education, information technology, financial and administrative management and strategic planning, have been prime factors in the success of our projects.

A Technical Director, along with a small capable staff of professionals, manages the day-to-day running of the organization. A Management Team, appointed by the Board, is responsible for closer direction and guidance in the smooth running of the organization.

The JCSEF has acquired vast experience and expertise in a wide range of services related to the implementation and appropriate use of technology in education and training, as well as considerable know-how in managing large grants from multi-lateral donor agencies.

The Foundation’s principal goal was to ensure that by the Year 2000, all graduates of Jamaican secondary schools, teachers colleges and community colleges had access to technology-based education
