SURE FOUNDATION EDUCATIONAL CENTRE
A large percent of the children leaving primary schools are not functionally literate. Some of them do poorly because at some point in their educational process, they ‘lost their way’ by missing out on fundamental concepts, and never getting an opportunity to ‘catch up’ again. Hence, they struggle through the system as under-achievers, unfulfilled with low self- esteem. Despite the pending danger of leaving these children unattended, the public school system, as it exists, does not cater to them. The class sizes range from 35 to 45 students, and children with ADHD and other learning difficulties cannot function in them. These children require individual attention and small group settings. Sure Foundation Educational Centre which is a non-governmental, non-profit, Christian institution seeks to address the needs of as many of these children as possible, beginning with those living in the Grants Pen Community and its environs but with the vision of extending to the wider Jamaican community. MISSION STATEMENT
Sure Foundation Educational Centre , a non-profit Christian organization, under the conviction that every child has the capacity to learn and should be given the opportunity to do so, seeks to provide education for children and young people with learning difficulties in a warm and friendly atmosphere that is conducive to learning, by a trained and motivated staff. GOALS
1. To provide alternative educational opportunities for children and young people who are unable to cope in the regular school system because of learning difficulties
2. To bring students enrolled in the programme into spiritual awareness of themselves, their potentials, their abilities, and their responsibilities.
3. To prepare students to meet qualification specifications to access further educational opportunities.
