About Us

It's not so much about us as you. It's about people. It's about providing opportunities for everyone to be the best they can be. It's about building brighter futures for the people of the Cayman Islands.

With our subject areas of Education, Training, Employment, Youth, Sports & Culture, we boast the largest portfolio within the Cayman Islands Government and its all about the development of people. That is why we are regularly referred to as 'the People's Ministry'.

Our objective is to provide the framework, which offers opportunities for everybody. We seek to equip young people, students and workers to compete on the international stage, and strongly believe that this is the key to the future prosperity of our nation as it plays an increasingly important role in an ever-changing world.

Our education conference at the end of 2005 drew together stakeholders in the future of our islands from every sector of the community on an unprecedented scale. Through us the people of Cayman spoke with one decisive, collective voice, and identified the way ahead.

Not only did this kick-start a reform process which will deliver the highest standards of education to our children for generations to come, but the ensuing wave of momentum has empowered our Ministry since to embrace with confidence, the most challenging of ambitions, and prevail.

Our inclusive approach and proven commitment to delivery have firmly established us as a progressive, mould-breaking force in government. There is much yet to do but our work is well underway. You can stay up-to-date with our progress here on www.brighterfutures.gov.ky, and as our website evolves so too will your opportunities to play an active part in building brighter futures for the people of Cayman.

We are looking forward to it!
