***"The IDB also noted the relatively low graduation rates at the Bahamas Technical and Vocational Institute (BTVI), the main provider of occupational and vocational training to high school graduates, non-finishers and adults.
“The bulk of students fall between 19-23 years of age, and the Institute enrolls about 1,700 students each year during the fall, and graduates about 150 to 440 persons a year on average,” the IDB said."***

This is serious.

Economist says...

Agreed.

Economist says...

Yes, we really need a good Polytechnic College. I would also suggest a percentage of foreign teachers though. Studies have shown that the best Universities and Private Boarding Schools have a high number of foreign professors and teachers.

The idea behind this is that they provide the student with different points of view thus making the students better thinkers and problem solvers.

Universities like Harvard, Princeton, Oxford and Cambridge all have a high percentage of foreign professors.

Economist says...

Good statement. But what is the solution? How do we turn this around?

Much of this stems for a feeling that we have a right to a job because we are Bahamian and, no matter how bad we are at the job, you are stuck with me.

I don't have to work because Immigration will protect me.

So if you have a child, out of wedlock, in The Bahamas, you will kick his foreign backside out of the country, right? You would not want that dirty piece of no good half-Bahamian child that you had.

Man you must produce some sorry excuses for children if you feel that a child with half your blood should be kicked out of the country.

Minnis needs to resign and take her with him.

Economist says...

Remember that the bulk of the GBPA Licensees are Bahamian. Let's you know what the Government thinks of Bahamians......that they don't count.

Economist says...

This lack of consultation and transparency is why this country is not working.

What is government scared of?
