Who We Are
Challenge to Grow Outreach ultimate goal is to rebuild hope where lost. In the formative years, our efforts will be in Jamaica. There is a great need for extensive educational support in Jamaica. Public schools in Jamaica are not free. From basic (elementary) school to onward, parents and guardians have to pay to send their children to school and many cannot afford the ever-increasing school tuition. Due to this, thousands of children drop out of school and do not pursue education as early as the primary (middle) school level. According to data released by the Ministry of Education, in a document entitled ‘Education Statistics 2012-2013’ (found on the Ministry’s website), the island’s secondary school system is experiencing a drop-out rate of 9.1% of pupils transitioning from grade 10 to grade 11.
