## Resource

MP Omar Newell is turning up the heat on corporate Jamaica to help upgrade Horace Clarke High’s automotive program, donating his own 2011 Mazda to kickstart hands-on training for students. He’s rallying auto industry players to supply missing tools and equipment, aiming to turn the shop into a top-tier vocational hub that prepares teens for exams, driver’s licenses, and real careers. This push is part of his broader education overhaul in St. Mary Central — including $3.1 million in grants for 65 tertiary students, $7 million more in aid, and his own $350K donation to St. Mary High’s track team — all aimed at delivering tangible results and empowering students with skills that lead to success.
