As a young bahamian, the biggest lie i believed was that education WAS/is the key. After being in the real world for some time now, it is who you know which dictates your success/survival in this Bahamas. This story is a prime example.
See, this is the problem, confused priorities and image. The issue is tragic, however the police force can handle it with due care and capability while their "investigations are ongoing". Now by saying that, Mr. Wilchcombe should redirect his attention on how to more help me (the young jobless bahamians) instead of doing the police press releas by commenting on this matter. If a bahamian gets raped in Florida, does Florida's governor or mayor stop their main priority to highlight the issue and make press releases their police department suppose to make? Talk about creating 200 jobs next week, or steps to make something happen. I mean, get real. We dieing out here.
A large percentage of "educated young bahamians" are out of work and this is priority? Yes Mr. Minnis delivery was wrong, but this issue is being made out to be more than it is. I doubt the countries whom the victims belong to care. Get real and make me (young, hungry, striving, educated bahamians) a priority on your agenda PLP.
How about, you go baby sit 300 million dollars worth of children. Let me know how it goes. Over population kills, especially if the budget is not up to par with that number.
Blame the governments, not the teachers. Our schools are over populated with non bahamians who are rude and disorderly because they lack identity. The governments allow this to occur. That nature of behavior then falls upon our blood, thus corrupting them.
The government then urges persons to enter teaching regardless if they have the passion, skill and tolerance for it. That is where they went wrong. Persons today now uses fields like teaching and nursing as escape routes to gaining a job. Once you completed C.O.B,that job is guarantee, nothing else. Can you really blame the persons,or should you really blame the government? Customs, immigration, defence force and other public fields are handed out for votes and friends only.. This is just a way out for most persons and which is why the new teachers can not teach and are horrible in the classrooms.
First of all, the Bahamas has way over 300,000 inhabitants. Maybe you may say around 300,000 registered residents.
Second, Bahamians are not the ones making more babies than job, it is the foreigners/non bahamians. Facts are vital. You can go to the public schools alone and weigh the percentage of haitian blood attending as proof.
Third, there are sufficient jobs, but everyone is out of role. The Government give jobs to persons for political advantage. Those persons as most know are not qualified and possess criminal hearts. If the distributions of jobs were fair and persons were seated based on earned qualifications/achievements, rather than politics/friends/family; you really think jobs would be an issue? If a person has 1 BJC then they should be given a 1 BJC job,not a position in customs, immigration, etc., just because of a vote or family/friend. They should be granted a job in ministry of works doing sanitation. You have any idea the amount of educated Bahamians with degrees out of the job in contrast to those uneducated ones who received political favor?
And, that is why our public service is corrupted.
So, only the governments and the people who voted those failed bodies in can be blamed. No one else.
