cast news, sports, weather as well as relevant information pertaining to activities taking place at Jamaica’s International Airports. Kool 97 FM has carved out a niche market in the Jamaican media landscape since hitting the airwaves in November 2001. We programme adult contemporary music, 45% of which is Reggae music. Our target audience consists primarily of persons who are 25 years and over. This group has diverse lifestyle preferences but finds consensus on one issue - Music that is melodic and familiar, the kind they grew up with and the kind that is missing across the stretch of Jamaican bandwidth. With the recent addition of newscasts, Kool 97 FM has created a balance. Listeners are now served the best of music and news content. In addition, the station is continuing to develop music programmes and special features which cover a wide range of subject matters to appeal to advertisers and listeners.

From the team at Ministry of Education & Youth

As schools across Jamaica reopen today, there is renewed hope for institutions in western Jamaica. Some schools in western and northern Jamaica, within Region 3, have been provided with temporary classroom solutions from Unicef Jamaica to support continued learning. William Knibb Memorial High School is among the beneficiaries, having received tents to assist with classroom space. Other schools receiving tents include Warsop Primary, Albert Town Primary, Albert Town High School, and Bohemia Primary.

From the team at Ministry of Labour and Social Security, Jamaica

As at January 1, 2025, over 15,000 Jamaican workers have benefited from overseas employment opportunities through programmes including the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Programme (SAWP).

These numbers represent more than statistics, they represent livelihoods sustained, families supported and communities strengthened.

Through greenhouse agriculture and seasonal farm work, participants gain more than employment — they gain skills, exposure and pathways to growth that support their families and strengthen communities back home.
Through SAWP, we continue to connect Jamaicans to opportunity, growth and meaningful work.

This is work with purpose.

The People’s Ministry. No One Left Behind.

What do you think ?

In an effort to reduce loitering by students in Mandeville, the Jamaica Constabulary Force visited various locations frequented by students, including Bank House Mall, Willow Gate Plaza, and the Arcade.

The objective of the patrol was to encourage students to head home after school and avoid loitering in areas that may put them at risk.

They urge parents, guardians and the community to work with them in keeping young people safe and focused on their education.
