Jamaica’s linguistic landscape is not unique, as similar language situations occur throughout the Caribbean and other regions. In pursuit of multilingualism, the decision was made to strengthen, at the primary level, the language of the people with whom most of the Caribbean region shares commonality: the Spanish-speaking Caribbean. This decision has significant implications for language diversity and global citizenship. The English-speaking Caribbean fosters a more interconnected world by encouraging Spanish language education. Collaboration among educators, policymakers, and stakeholders in teaching Spanish in the English-speaking Caribbean enhances ties between countries and promotes cultural exchange. Starting with students at the primary level, or even earlier, where possible, relying solely on native language acquisition may not be enough. Government leaders should recognise the functions of the first and second languages and encourage citizens to learn Spanish as a third language. Without such recognition, they may not receive support for establishing Spanish as a significant language in schools and the wider Caribbean Anglosphere.
