Government to build STEM innovation and teaching centre in Kingston

The Government is planning to establish a STEMS [Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics] innovation teaching centre at National Heroes Circle in Kingston.
 
Prime Minister Andrew Holness says the facility will be part of plans for the redevelopment of the area, which will include a new parliament building and other structures to house various ministries and government agencies.
 
He says STEM will be the engine that drives Jamaica's development and bolsters its international competitiveness 
 
Jamaica currently has four centres of excellence for STEM, which were opened in partnership with the HEART/NSTA Trust.
 
Plans are also in place for the construction of six STEM schools across the island, with the first to be built in St. Ann.
