CIFEC to Temporarily Operate Across Two Sites

Further to a release dated 27 August, the Ministry of Education (MOE) and Department of Education Services (DES) today announced that the Cayman Islands Further Education Centre (CIFEC) will temporarily operate across two strategically chosen sites at the start of classes on 16 September.

The temporary arrangement will see practical classes held at the new John Gray High School from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM daily, while theory sessions will take place at the Family Life Centre earlier in the day. The latter will also serve as a central hub for students and teachers. 

To ensure smooth operations, students will be provided with transportation to and from home and between school sites, as well as daily free meals.   

CIFEC Director, Mr. Mark Seerattan, stated, "We have worked diligently to identify suitable alternative sites that are in close proximity to each other and provide students with access to specialist resources and has space for student and staff collaboration."

DES Director Mark Ray added, "We recognise that this arrangement is unconventional, but we are fully committed to providing our staff and students with the best possible resources despite the circumstances. The strategic location of the Family Life Centre near John Gray’s state-of-the-art equipment ensures that our students' educational experience remains top-notch.  During this time, we will also continue to closely monitor the progress of the new facility and provide parents with regular updates."
