Jamaica’s Promise – Students Thrilled About Stock Market

Some 575 students from 15 schools across Jamaica were enrolled in the Wizdom CRM Virtual Stock Market Game hosted in collaboration with the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE) and in March, six primary and preparatory school students were rewarded for their stellar performance. The game is the Caribbean’s first animated stock market Game platform engaging students in educational experiences through gamification learning through Artificial Intelligence. On enrolment, each student was provided with US$10,000 in virtual funds for trading. JSE Managing Director Dr Marlene Street-Forrest commended students for their bravery.
