Dr Burke founded PACE in 1967 and her contribution exceeds that of those who are invited from Canada to be honoured. Thought should be given to honoring Dr Burke (No relation to the writer), for her organization has donated the Computer Bus to Basic Schools, and over 100 Basic Schools contnue to benefit annually from contribution of PACE., for over 20 years, non-stop,.

One educator with who I am familiar contributed much to a tertiary level institution, here, in Jamaica. That educator has also contributed through community work to early childhood education. Her successors implemented projects that were proposed by her and have been given Prime Minister's Award and OD, etc. , and she has not been recognised, Isn't this snobbery? In addition, Mrs Cynthia Walters , formerly of the Ministry of Education has contributed more to movement and physical education in Jamaica than any other person currently alive. Why has she not been recognised? What means do they use to select persons for national awards and honours?
