Improving literacy unlocks the potential of individuals, families, and businesses
A strong foundation in reading, writing, and comprehension is established in the early years and is essential to our overall quality of life. Research consistently shows that early childhood literacy sets the stage for lifelong learning and success. Children who develop strong literacy skills early on are more likely to thrive academically and socially, while those who fall behind face long-term challenges, including higher risks of unemployment and limited opportunities. Although the Cayman Islands currently report a strong overall literacy rate, sustained focus and effort in early childhood education is crucial to maintaining and improving this standard for future generations.
