Jamaica’s Promise – Read Across Jamaica Day 2025

It is often said that “Reading is the gateway skill that makes all other learning possible,” and on that journey of learning schools across the island on May 06, engaged students, teachers, parents, and members of their wider community, in a day of reading; sparking many imaginations as part of annual Read Across Jamaica Day celebrations. The day’s activities are aimed at fostering a national love for literacy among children and youth and was this year held under the theme “Turning Pages, Shaping Our Future”.
