HISTORY

At that time the Jamaica Teachers' Association acquired all the shares held by that company, JPH Ltd is supervised by a Board of Directors which directs the policies and programmes of the company.

WHY JAMAICA PUBLISHING HOUSE LTD ?
Jamaica Publishing House Ltd was formed as a result of the need for textbooks in schools that were Caribbean in focus and content.
