Jamaica- Education in the 50s: Jamaica School of Agriculture

 

BackYard Labrish continues to engage Jamaican seniors who wish to leave a living legacy of their experiences during their school days.  We have been fascinated by the many memorable stories of institutions of higher learning in Jamaica and continue to want more.

 Many of the stories have come from schools well known to the Diaspora, a number of which are still in existence. 

This week we will explore The Jamaica School of Agriculture with our guest Mr. Carl Belnavis.  Mr. Belnavis graduated from The Jamaica School of Agriculture in 1957 and will share fond memories of the way it was while he was a student. This school, like many others during that period, made their mark not only on Jamaicans, but on citizens from all over the Caribbean who continue to leave an indelible mark all over the world.

If you or someone you know would like to share your memories of school days, or would like to hear about the way it was, we invite you to join us on
