"Everybody wants institutional accreditation, and we don't favour that. The government's policy is that we should be sparing with granting institutional accreditation but promote greater latitude in how the quality-assured programmes are delivered in Wait-a-Bit, Trelawny or St. Thomas, or elsewhere. This probably is presumptuous of me, but looking forward I see three accredited universities in Jamaica and three others related in various ways." ― Minister of Education Rev. Ronald Thwaites
"Although it looks like we were seeing a different Asafa at the Trials, we've seen him with this kind of impressive form before. But he's finishing oh so well. There is obviously a change in attitude and a change in his mentality. What's left to see is how he performs when he comes up against tougher opposition later on in the season. Going into Beijing, I think he'll finish in the top three [in the 100 metres]. He stands more than a good chance of medalling." ― Filmmaker and sports journalist Donald Oliver
"Education in Jamaica is beyond partisan scrapping. It is so important. We will have our differences of opinion, but I can be pleased that over the time that I have been minister, the relationship between the governing party and the opposition party in respect of education policy and practice has been a healthy one." ― Thwaites
