The curriculum (topics needed to know) for the BJC and the BGCSE are too big. There is no way to cover all of those topics in a sensible manner during the 2 year period. Teacher have to RUSH through topics, so that they can say they "covered" them - which is a real joke. Then in the 2nd year they "review" them - but you can't review something that you never learned in the first place.

Of course, those who make the exams work in CYA mode because they don't want anyone to ask them why a certain topic wasn't included. As a result, in our quest to make our students learn EVERYthing - they end up learning NOthing, in order to please office workers in Nassau so that they can "Yes, it's on the list". The result is our kids are "on the list" of failures.

Exactly - remember in our country raping your wife is the "Christian" thing to do.

Rubbish. More promises and talk. Wake me up when it's built and open.

Did the article say "Bahamian" fishermen ???? Bahamian? Well that's the problem. Bahamians don't count in this country. They are third class dogs that the government can easily ignore and cast aside without any fear whatsoever of losing their vote. They will vote FNM or PLP even if the government literally shot their children dead with a gun in front of their faces. Their loyalty is infinite.

.... and where is her mask in the photo? How many people is she infecting and killing?

Children are not learning facial expressions as well. Mental illness is the result. We are going to pay a HIGH price for this foolishness as time goes on.
I suppose you would be ok with government requiring us to wear swimmer's goggles also to prevent dust from going in our eyes?
What comes next? Burqas?

.....these 100 teachers will help us suffocate your children with cloth over the nose and mouth.

Was this man vaccinated? While vaccination will not prevent dog bites, they have been shown to reduce hospitalizations and death.

All of the complaining comments above are made by a tiny group of disgruntled misfits. The vast majority of Bahamians voted either PLP or FNM in the last election. Bahamians are contented cows, just like it says on the side of the cream can.
