In this policy analysis paper, the goal is to identify a suitable policy from some alternatives to address the shortage of human capital development in Jamaica. According to the Taskforce on Higher Education and Society (2000), higher education is the vehicle that developing countries must use to drive economic advancement and build their competitive edge. It is because of this kind of admonition that this paper specifically explores opportunities within the Jamaican higher education system for a possible course of action for government and other stakeholders.
