As we begin a new school year in Jamaica, some things remain constant—lengthy book lists and last-minute visits to our trusted and ill-tempered dressmaker. However, one aspect that has undergone a significant transformation over the years is the contents of a student’s backpack. Whether they were sneaked in as contraband or deemed essential, the items found in the backpacks of Jamaican students in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s differed in fascinating ways.
The 1980s: Marbles and Metal Lunch kits
In the 1980s, a necessary item found in the backpack of Jamaican students was the trusty metal lunch kit. These lunch boxes were as sturdy as they were reliable, housing homemade meals prepared with love. However, among the lunchtime essentials lurked contraband—marbles. Marbles were not just a playful distraction, but also the source of many friendships and challenges during break times.
The 1990s: Colourful Erasers and Walkmans
Fast-forward to the 1990s, and students were toting around another essential: large, colourful erasers. These erasers, while stylish and eye-catching, often left faint marks on paper that did more harm than good in the eyes of teachers. Still, they were a must-have accessory. Hidden among these erasers were contraband items like Walkmans or portable cassette players, discreetly stowed away to avoid being labelled as distractions.
The 2000s: Scientific Calculators and Flip Phones
In the 2000s, a new era dawned for the backpacks of Jamaican students. The necessary item was the scientific calculator, an indispensable tool for mathematics and science classes. Contraband, on the other hand, took the form of cellphones. While most schools did not permit cellphones and had designated storage areas for them, resourceful students always found ways to sneak them in, often hiding them in inconspicuous places during spot checks.
In reflecting on these decades of change, one thing remains clear—the resourcefulness and adaptability of Jamaican students. Despite evolving rules and technologies, students found creative ways to embrace both tradition and innovation, shaping their educational experiences in unique ways.

Althea Brown, a Guyanese food enthusiast, has been sharing Guyanese food with the world for years now. She does this through her social media and website, where she’s better known as ‘Metemgee’.
She has become a well-known digital creator, with an evident knack for scrumptious-looking Guyanese dishes and easy-to-follow recipes for anyone. More recently, she decided to pen the recipes she learnt from her mother and in some cases, ‘remix’ it so those dishes can fit her paleo diet.
It took her about 18 months to cook, perfect her recipes, write those down, photograph the meals and edit the book.
“I didn’t think that the cookbook I would have written would be this cookbook.
“…I really wanted this book to be an example and a representation of who I am as a person.
“Yes I am Guyanese, yes I tell stories around Guyanese food and traditions but I am also paleo. The way I eat is slightly different from the average Guyanese,” Brown told the News Room during an interview.
But what’s the paleo diet?
President Dr. Irfaan Ali and author, Althea Brown (Photo: Office of the President/ September 04, 2023)The paleo diet usually includes vegetables, fruits, nuts, roots, and meat and excludes dairy products, grains, sugar, legumes, processed oils, salt, alcohol, and coffee.
Because she generally adheres to a paleo diet – unless, of course, she wants a “big bowl of rice”- Brown went about figuring out how the beloved Guyanese dishes she learnt from her mother would be paleo-friendly.
She tried and tested various combinations until she got it right, never cooking one of her “remixed” meals just once. And it worked out. She was able to figure out many of recipes in her book, even potato roti, her favourite meal, which she now makes with cassava flour.
“…When I nailed that (potato roti) recipe I was like ‘Hallelujah! I can have potato roti now and not feel sick’,” Brown exclaimed.
Not all the Guyanese recipes needed modifications, however. The foodie noted that fish stew and curry, for example, can be consumed by persons on a paleo diet just as they are.
Brown, who lives in the United States, travelled to Guyana this month to launch her book here. She described it as a “full circle” moment for her, someone who was once a little girl growing up in Campbellville.
With the books now for sale, she hopes more people can buy it and share her labour of love. And she has found a buyer in President Dr. Irfaan Ali, who promised to buy 100 copies of the cookbook.

At 106-4 the Knight Riders were in a precarious position, however, Pooran and Andre Russell would create fireworks in front of a packed home crowd, launching sixes and combining for an 82-run partnership off just 36 balls.
Pooran would go on to score a brilliant century, his second at the CPL, as the Knight Riders ended on 208-6 after 20 overs.
Barbados Royals suffered a major setback early in their chase as Akeal Hosein would grab the wicket of Rahkeem Cornwall in the third over.
Despite a disciplined bowling performance from the Knight Riders led by Akeal Hosein and Waqar Salamkheil, Kyle Mayers would continue to score runs and eventually reached his half century.
Mayers was dismissed for 70 from an Ali Khan delivery, and after that the run rate would prove to be too much for the Royals, as they finished on 166/7, losing the contest by 42 runs.
The win means Trinbago Knight Riders now have nine points as they look to qualify for the play-off leg of the 2023 Republic Bank CPL. (CPL)
