Jamaica Reverence For Life University (JRLU)

Vision

As the 21st Century begins, a unique opportunity has arisen to re-examine education in Jamaica and introduce a fourth element to the traditional 3 “R”s that will revitalize the impact of education on all ages of students. The fourth “R” is simply “Reverence for Life”. Not to be misconstrued as a religious or philosophical viewpoint, Reverence for Life invites us to instill a sense of wonder into education. Institutional learning and the effects of bureaucratic management has stripped much life and dynamism from the process and experience of learning.

In order to accomplish the introduction of this 4^th R we will simply adapt an existing set of skills that are part of The Practice which is the basis of our curriculum for individual empowerment that will introduce reverence for life as an integral part of the existing educational paradigm. Other courses based on experiential learning and personal empowerment are also ready to be taught, but the foundation is The Practice.

The initial delivery vehicle will be based on a long researched concept of a “Center”, or virtual university that has been derived from fifteen years of research of learning institutions in the United States. The primary innovation introduced by the Center would be the utilization of Web technologies and distance learning in addition to technology utilization far advanced to contemporary educational institutions.
