This intimidation tactics by bullies are the seeds of gang development. The bully surrounds himself with weak thinkers & 'cattle followers' whom he has bullied. Once the aggression has begun, the cattle taunt from a safe distance for their entertainment, giving the ' head cow'/bully more incentive to act.
Science Note: Cows are not intelligent, they do not know how to reverse & change course.
Are you a cow?

Unfortunately, the government does not understand the difference between the Family Mid-budget Cruiser & the Mega Yacht Cruiser. The first has a limited vacation budget, which they distribute throughout the visited communities; the second has a no-limit budget, which they selectively distribute while disdain government impositions & go elsewhere, because they can.

The Bahamas has a great deal to offer Cruisers... but little that Florida, Keys, T&C, Mexico, Belize & Dominican Republic do not also have.

Obviously, by the number of "explored international cooperation," the government does not have the means to pay existing teachers. if they have been negotiating since last year. Plus, not finding jobs for 2025 graduates to integrate into the system reinforces that, or is the level of their education so questionable?
Wonder what is the budget for Mr. Cooper & his Education staff? What are the negotiator's $alaries & bonuse$?

Too many chiefs & middle managers, not supporting the in-the-trenches Indians. A woefully common problem.
Education is the future of tomorrow's Bahamian society & workforce!

Here we go again... copy what others do.
Another example of the wealthiest man distracting the public, while harming the poorest of 'em all. ...There is an Ellon Musk everywhere!

Some day when Bahamas has the income & burdens of Florida, should we copy them!... not happening in this lifetime.

Well stated.

"...found about 50 miles northwest of Vero Beach..."?
They found in suburbs of Orlando?
Looks like AI proofreading these newsreports. No humans required.

Sounds like another professional cruise excursion team at work. More interested in the dollar & sexual benefits from intoxicated tourist. Bahamas, are you proud yet?

As my father often said to me "Clean up your room, then the world"
Why are we spending people's money to build another hospital when we can't run the one we have? Prove you can run this hospital, then add to the system.
this issue is strictlyadministrative... Fly me to Florida! Please!!

Amazing, the first three articles today are about bail given to individuals who participated in criminal activity AND where given a Get-Out-Of Jail low value bail.
I understand there is a cost/burden to keeping individuals in an overcrowded jail. I also see the amounts placed on the Bail should be relative to the economic standing of the individual & extent of the crime.
But often we see repeat offenders with multiple charges getting out with low bail, paid from questionable sources & ankle monitors. So what are the incentives to minimize criminal activities beyond experiencing time in a deplorable jail?

Degrees? Your thinking of degrees when 90% of todays students won't graduate high school above near failure!
Failure of the School Industry/Politics to teach these generations is the cause.
Addictive phones add to it.
Vocational clases add insight & experience to the job market.
