On-going dialogue and interaction with Ministries of Education and other key target groups

The Ministry of Education in Jamaica and in all the other Caribbean Islands are critical publishing partners.

We work closely with ministry officers, in the course of developing new material or revising publications, and ensuring the sustained curriculum relevance of all our materials.

As partners in the education process, Carlong donates thousands of books to Ministry of Education projects, schools, libraries, reading resource centres, and various organizations. Carlong also sponsors trophies and book awards in support of various reading and literacy initiatives.
