Developing Thinkers. Building Leaders. Transforming Communities.
More Than a Debate Competition. A National Movement.
Across Jamaica, a new generation of thinkers, speakers, writers and leaders is emerging.
They are asking difficult questions. They are challenging assumptions. They are proposing solutions. Most importantly, they are discovering that their voices have the power to influence their schools, communities and country.
This is the vision behind C-Think Jamaica.
What began as a critical thinking and debating initiative will evolve into a national platform that encourages young people to think deeply, communicate effectively and take meaningful action.
Today, C-Think is more than a competition. It is a movement.
40 Schools. One Mission.
The C-Think Jamaica Leagues bring together primary and secondary schools from across the island in a season-long journey of learning, competition and growth.
Students engage in debates, public speaking activities, writing challenges, media projects and community initiatives that strengthen their ability to reason, persuade and lead.
Every match, every article, every presentation and every project is designed to help young people become more confident thinkers and more effective citizens.
“Critical thinking should not end with debate. It should inspire action, innovation and positive change.”
Guided by Educational Excellence
The C-Think Jamaica Leagues are adjudicated by The Mico University College, Jamaica’s oldest teacher-training institution and one of the Caribbean’s most respected centres of educational excellence.
Through its leadership and oversight, The Mico University College helps to ensure that the programme maintains high standards of academic integrity, critical thinking and communication.
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to preparing young people not only for examinations, but for leadership in the modern world.

C-Think’s impact extends beyond the classroom.
Through strategic partnerships with leading media organisations, students are given opportunities to showcase their talents and share their ideas with national audiences.
C-Think Weekly
The official highlights programme of the Jamaica Leagues, C-Think Weekly captures the best debates, standout performances, interviews and success stories from across the season.
Broadcast nationally on Television Jamaica (TVJ), the programme shines a spotlight on the next generation of Jamaican leaders.
Expanding the Conversation
The movement is also supported by Mello FM and Riddim FM, whose partnership will help bring student voices, critical thinking discussions and league activities to radio audiences across Jamaica.
Together, these partnerships ensure that the ideas emerging from classrooms can reach communities throughout the island.
Introducing The C-Thinker
At the heart of every great movement is a platform for ideas.
That platform is The C-Thinker.
As the official digital magazine of the C-Think movement, The C-Thinker provides students with opportunities to publish:
• Opinion pieces
• Persuasive essays
• Letters to the Editor
• Community stories
• Project proposals
• Leadership reflections
• Debate analysis
• Critical thinking articles
The publication encourages students to move beyond speaking and debating to become writers, commentators and thought leaders.
Through The C-Thinker, students are not simply participating in conversations—they are helping to shape them.
From Debate to Impact
One of the most exciting additions to the programme is the C-Think Community Impact Challenge.
The challenge encourages students to identify problems affecting their schools and communities and develop practical solutions that can create measurable change.
Subscribers to the programme will score project proposals submitted by teams throughout the island.
The highest-scoring projects will be eligible for implementation support, transforming student ideas into real community action.
This initiative represents a simple but powerful belief:
Great thinkers should also be great problem-solvers.
The New Home of C-Think Jamaica
The newly launched C-Think Jamaica page serves as the digital home of the movement.
Visitors can explore participating schools, access team pages, discover league activities and support schools through subscriptions.
By clicking on a school’s logo, supporters can learn more about that team, follow its journey and become part of its growing network of supporters.
The page represents an important step in building a connected national community of students, educators, parents, alumni and partners.
The Future Starts With a Thought
The future of Jamaica will be shaped by young people who can think critically, communicate clearly, evaluate evidence, challenge misinformation and develop solutions to complex challenges.
That future is already taking shape in classrooms, debate halls, community projects, magazine articles and media platforms across the country.
C-Think Jamaica exists to help make that future possible.
And this is only the beginning.
