In 1999, Aeronautical Telecommunications Limited (AEROTEL) was granted a license to broadcast flight information which was conducted from its office in Montego Bay. Under the terms of the license, Kool 97 FM focuses on music, with special features depicting aspects of Jamaica’s culture. For the convenience of travellers, flight schedules are broadcast at the top of the hour. The station also broad

cast news, sports, weather as well as relevant information pertaining to activities taking place at Jamaica’s International Airports. Kool 97 FM has carved out a niche market in the Jamaican media landscape since hitting the airwaves in November 2001. We programme adult contemporary music, 45% of which is Reggae music. Our target audience consists primarily of persons who are 25 years and over. This group has diverse lifestyle preferences but finds consensus on one issue - Music that is melodic and familiar, the kind they grew up with and the kind that is missing across the stretch of Jamaican bandwidth. With the recent addition of newscasts, Kool 97 FM has created a balance. Listeners are now served the best of music and news content. In addition, the station is continuing to develop music programmes and special features which cover a wide range of subject matters to appeal to advertisers and listeners. In keeping with the mandate of our Broadcast License, Kool 97FM continues to highlight activities in all sectors, including tourism, entertainment, government, business and aviation. Join the Kool Team as we venture into the mountains, participate in cultural activities, explore our island and uplift each other with positive motivational messages. Kool 97 FM enjoys island wide coverage.

The Island Traffic Authority and the Jamaica Constabulary Force have clarified that parents or guardians wishing to teach their children to drive are allowed to do so.

The two respective organisations have noted that regulation 168, paragraph 2 (d) of the Road Traffic Regulations, 2022 specifies that: "A person who provides the services of a driving instructor without the requirement for a fee or payment shall not be required to certified under this part".

Based on this stipulation, parents or guardians may offer driving lessons to their children as long as no financial compensation is involved and the level of training meets road safety and competency standards.

Persons who have experienced issues due to confusion related to this matter have been advised to email [email protected] or [email protected] to make a report.

Special accommodations refer to support that is needed for students who have been deemed to have special needs and or learning challenges as outlined in a psycho-educational evaluation report.

The Ministry told JIS News that the special accommodations provided include extra time, assignment of a reader, writer, prompter or shadow, preferential seating in the examination centre, allowance of breaks during the examination, interpreters or linguistic aides for students whose first language is not English and printing of the examination in large print or braille.

Six applications were received for linguistic aides for students whose first language is Spanish and Mandarin.

The Ministry advised that an additional 12 students sat the test from their hospital beds.
