Robinson banks on success of animation sector

Julian Robinson, State Minister for Technology, has announced that a policy framework will shortly be created for Jamaica’s animation sector.  
   
According to the Minister, the national strategy will outline the way forward for the sector.    

He was speaking JIS News - the Government's public information arm - on Friday,  at a ceremony to present certificates to 21 animation specialists who participated in a four-week training programme.
   
Mr. Robinson is hopeful that Jamaica will be able to tap into the earnings of  the animation sector, which he said can generate US$220 billion, globally.  
   
He believes this can be accomplished by having trained specialists who are equipped with effective teaching strategies, techniques, and methodologies in the fundamental principles of  animation.
