NCE Transforming Education for National Development
TRENDS IN GOVERNANCE
"Effective Boards Lead Effective schools."

The Jamaica Education Transformation Commission 2001 in its report highlighted Governance and Accountability as an important Pillar for Transforming the Education System. 
The NCE, an agency responsible for school governance, has developed a draft Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for school boards in their effort to govern public educational institutions in Jamaica more effectively. 
On July 23, 2024 a joint meeting of the Council's Policy and Planning and School Governance Committee was held to review the framework towards finalization. This is in support of the concept that schools that are effectively governed will result in students being well served and their learning enhanced. 
The National Council on Education continues its work as they press on to make Governance one of the 7 Pillars of TREND impactful to the transformation of education.
