Letter of the Day | Respect religious diversity in public schools
THE EDITOR, Madam: We write in response to the letter published on October 24, 2026, titled ‘Strengthening devotional guidelines for schools’, which calls for greater protection of Christian traditions and religious practices in Jamaica’s educational institutions. While we acknowledge the historic contribution of Christian churches to education in Jamaica, we are concerned that the author’s proposals place disproportionate emphasis on Christianity without adequately considering the religious diversity of our student population.
