EDITOR’S NOTE: At the end of March, #eduCaribbean featured achievements by Caribbean people, in our edition 2021-04-05. We do that again in this newsletter. Three Caribbean countries are covered, namely: Jamaica, Haiti, and Guyana. Jamaica and Haiti have two articles apiece, and Guyana one. Additional content may be found in our Twitter feed (@eduCaribbean).
