************************************************************ ************************************************************ HOW DOES CEF HELP? CEF awards scholarships to poor children in the Caribbean to attend school. Our current mission country is Jamaica, but we will expand to other regions in the Caribbean/Latin America in 2008-2009.The major issue in Jamaica is children's lack of access to schools. Primary School ends at Grade 6 and children have to pass an exam to get into High School (which begins Grade 7-12). A critical problem is that very bright children pass their exams for high schools, but are unable to attend due to lack of funds. *********************************************************** HIGH SCHOOL IS NOT FREE and parents cannot afford to pay the High School fees, purchase books, transportation, etc. CEF grants scholarships to children at all levels of education, but we focus on high school students. Our long-term goal is to ensure that each child who passed her or his exam for high school will be able to attend. We would like to thank the generosity of our sponsors, donors, partners and friends of education in the developing world. ************************************************************ **********************************************************BR IDGING THE FINANCIAL GAPS TO EDUCATION. CARIBBEAN EDUCATION FOUNDATION (CEF) awards scholarships to poor children in the Caribbean so they may attend schools and receive a quality education. *********************************************************** BRIDGING THE NUTRITION GAPS TO EDUCATION. CEF provides meal grants for breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks to youths in schools. As a result, youths will have proper nutrition to be able to fully absorb lessons being taught in schools. *********************************************************** BRIDGING THE COMPUTER LITERACY GAP TO EDUCATION. All children must be able to compete in the global economy. The majority of children in underserved schools lack exposure and/or access to computers.CEF donates computers to schools with the goal that each school will have at least one computer dedicated to children's learning. Our objective is to ensure that each school will gain sufficient computers for a computer laboratory, where students will become technologically literate and excel in this field.
