The Kingston High School Problem
Kingston High School ( formerly Kingston Secondary School and before that Kingston Senior School) is located at the northern end of Kings Street, in Kingston. It is located about 300 meters South-West of the main offices of The Ministry of Education and about 50 meters South of The National Heroes Park. In spite of its “desirable location” it remains at the bottom of the ranks of high schools in the Kingston & St. Andrew Metropolitan area with few passes in the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) . The truth be told, is that for much of its recent past the school functioned in the main as a “safe place” and “day care center” for children from the violence prone communities from which the bulk of its students come from.
The problem is further compounded by the fact that, unlike the high performing traditional high schools, the Kingston High School is not owned by the Church but rather by the Government of Jamaica, which means that the school does not get the high level of supervision, guidance and material support as do the traditional high schools which are owned by the Church.
Within this context, it would appear that the administrators of the KingstonHigh School have been facing challenges finding suitably qualified students to take up The Fletcher-Manaker Project Scholarships for students to study medicine and or nursing in Cuba.It is in this light The Ellen Manaker Program is being proposed. If the Kingston High School is able to produce students who are capable of taking up scholarships to study medicine, it will be able also to produce students capable of taking up scholarships for the study of engineering and other similar scholarships provided by other organizations and educational institutions.
The Ellen Manaker Program
The Kingston High School must submit all relevant information of the candidates they are putting forward for the medical scholarships to Cuba, at least two weeks before the opening of the scholarships, to the Office Of The President of The Brandeis University. No funding shall be provided if the requirement of documentary submission is not met. Monies held back will be set aside for future scholarships to the school.
It is being proposed that US$1,000.00 be set aside to top up the salary of the teachers who is able to have at least 100 students passing mathematics at the CSEC level , with more money being paid out for grade 1 passes and less for grades 2 and 3 passes. This means that the teacher has have an examination pass rate of 100% to get the full US$1,000.00 . The same would apply to the teachers of English, Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
US$ 5,000.00 will be dedicated to the above. A similar system of incentives will be put in place for the teachers of the Caribbean Advance Proficiency Examinations Units 1 and 2 in Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
This program is budgeted to cost US$12,000.00 per year with the Principal and Vice-Principal getting US$2,000.00 each on the delivery of the required 500 CSEC passes and at least ten of the required CAPE passes in the first two years . Money to be put aside for a ten year drive starting 2025 after which it will be up to the graduates of the Kingston High School to continue the program. Given that the Kingston High School is about 100 meters east of the Jewish Cemetery, the local synagogue can be approached to distribute the monies on obtaining copies of the examination results.

The Fletcher- Manaker Project is also seeking to raise funds to contribute to the salaries of two native doctors and three native nurses working at one Doctors Without Borders facilities in the following countries:- Ethiopia, The Congo, Sudan and Bangladesh. It is hoped that by doing so Doctors Without Borders can continue their work in these locations in spite of the funding cuts from USAID and other international and national funding organizations.
Revenue Distribution:- Forty five percent of all incomes earned will go directly to The Doctors Without Borders specifically for salary support as outlined above. Another forty eight percent of income generated will go to the provision of scholarships under The Fletcher-Manaker Project’s -Doctors For The Poor Campaign. Seven percent will be retained by The Fletcher Manaker Project. This drive ends on 1st. March 2026
