Try Central Eleuthera with the "so called" improvement using reverse osmosis. Low pressure and no water for the last three days. 20 years ago it was more reliable. Usual case just like the new clinics, all show but no thought into stocking spare parts or regular maintenance.

Any event of this magnitude requires a precise budget to be decided months in advance or how else can you apportion the funds to different sectors of the Carnival. Politicians should never be in charge of any business venture that involves making a profit, they just don't care when it comes down to the finer points.

So Mr Basden couldn't sort out BEC as manager but is now an advisor. What a joke.

Just typical, corruption in the post office, and as usual taking action after the fact,just like BAMSI, Bahamar and so on ---------NO accounting ,no supervision. and then the s - - t hits the fan and senior officials decide they must do something. No wonder the cost of living is so high for honest working folks.

And still they borrow money.

borrow ,borrow and borrow again.

Yes a 100% increase and as always from school tuck shops to funds raisers to Government entities there is a total reluctance to account for expenditure and income. However here on Eleuthera 1 dozen standard eggs has jumped from under three dollars to over $4,00 , cement from $12 + to $15 ,once again increases by huge increments. Common complaint recently from visitors as to how expensive it is and how do people afford to live here.

Tech ed in the Bahamas is a joke at every level. As a teacher of Auto Mechanics in a high school I did not receive one item of equipment in 15 years despite entering substantial students for BGCSE. Furthermore I was replaced by a Cuban teacher to teach auto who had never taught this subject beforw.

Typical rhetoric " blame the foreigners when the Government has no foresight and always reacts after the fact. Take so called " duty free" liquor shopping. Who is kidding who. Liquor and beer is much cheaper in the USA even after tax. Can you imagine almost $60 for a case of Heineken and home produced Kalik cheaper in the states.

The truth.
1. Fire the Minister of education.
2. Fire the Director of education. He is a liar.
3. Start teaching basic arithmetic and english at primary school. For Gods sake teach them English before Spanish.
4. Get rid of these Cuban teachers. They may be cheaper but the kids cannot understand them.\
6.Stop following every educational American trend.
7. Don't bullshit about technical education. You never provide materials or books.
8. Promote educated non biased Bahamians not political patrons
9. Have a proper promotional system.. Most positions are filled before they are advertised.
10. Have qualified teachers. CEHS music teacher was a bus driver and is not qualified.
P Point. His wife is on the staff is not qualified. THis is the tip of the iceberg.
