We don't have enough teachers period. We're to small of a nation to not hire foreigners for specialized positions. The government just needs to make sure Bahamians get training from foreign specialist and that Foreigners are only given work in sectors with talent shortages.
Or if you want the government can force you to become a teacher and you'll teach where they decide
It needs regulation. If they do it without any foresight it'll be a dumpster fire. People will rush to grow hemp on any piece of land as well as rushing to get a license.

The only thing the island looks suitable for is logging and marine farming.
