Creating World-class Educational Leaders

Scope

The scope of the National College for Educational Leadership (NCEL), operating from the Murray Hall Building, Caenwood Centre, 37 Arnold Road, Kingston 5, Jamaica, is to develop and improve the quality of leadership in all public and independent schools and supporting institutions through the design, development and delivery of training programmes, the certification of participants, and provision of professional development services.

NCEL applies all the requirements of the ISO 9001:2015; however, Clause 7.1.5.2 has been excluded as the organisation does not have to calibrate its instruments against international measurement standards.

Core Values

Under the auspices of the Ministry of Education and Youth (MoEY), the NCEL embodies and demonstrates the following core values:

  • Continuous Learning – We commit ourselves to being creative, efficient and innovative in the provision of on-going opportunities aimed at leadership development.

  • Excellence – We commit ourselves to consistently strive for outcomes that are exemplary rather than simply satisfactory.

  • Collaboration – We commit ourselves to facilitating and negotiating with our key players so as to build capacity.

  • Quality Service – We commit ourselves to being responsive in delivering the highest level of support to our clients and partners in an honest, fair and ethical manner.
