In an effort to prepare students for the global marketplace, the National Standards Curriculum (NSC) is geared towards equipping them with 21st century skills. Project-based learning, a global trend in education, is seen as the vehicle through which this objective can be realised. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore the experiences of four teachers and four students with the use of project-based learning in the NSC in a Jamaican primary school.
 

The National Standards Curriculum (NSC) has been the cornerstone of our Jamaican education system at the primary and lower secondary levels since September 2016. However, there are many controversies surrounding its implementation. This research sought to explore teachers’ experiences with the implementation of the National Standards Curriculum (NSC) in an inner-city primary school in Kingston, Jamaica. A generic qualitative research was conducted to explore the topic. The sample consisted of five teachers who were purposively selected.
