WELCOME TO THE NCE
Good education begins with strong foundations. We help build them.
Established by an Act of Parliament in March 1993, the National Council on Education is a non-partisan statutory body supporting the development of Jamaica’s education system.
Through policy advice, school board governance and community participation, we bring a national perspective to the decisions that matter for our learners.
