Information minister commends Project STAR
Dr Dana Morris Dixon, minister responsible for information, skills and digital transformation in the Office of the Prime Minister, has lauded the work of Project STAR, a social and economic transformation project that targets under-resourced, underserved communities experiencing high levels of crime or violence. “I am impressed by the involvement of various government agencies in the Project STAR initiative. The Jamaica Constabulary Force has been phenomenal in co-chairing and supporting this project, e-Learning Jamaica has significantly contributed to the homework programme, and the HEART/NSTA Trust has been actively involved in the readiness for work programme, along with the National Senior Citizens Council,” the minister stated. Dr Dixon’s comments followed a recent tour of Rose Gardens and Parade Gardens, communities currently benefiting from Project STAR.
