Renew Bahamas, Stellar Waste ................ LOIs and MOUs cant done and still Nassau on fire. This is the latest BEC-like debacle .............. There must be serious Public Accounts Committee investigations into all of these "hologram" companies operating as fronts for politically-connected persons
why is the plp government getting us so deeply indebted to the chinese????? we are heading down the wrong road with this dependency on chinese money and labour. they will end up owning our country in 30 years. ............ and giving them our land too???????????????
suggestion: Do GLAT in Grade 5 and do BJC in Grade 8. Let students' BJC results determine whether a child is academic or technical oriented ......... create academic or technical high schools (GRADES 9-12)and then that will solve the manpower/skills problem.
Why is there a 35% non graduation rate in The Bahamas?????? We spend more on teachers and education facilities (about 17% of the Budget) than many developed countries ..... but there is a disconnect between the home, the school calendar, the curriculum and the external examinations (bjc/bgcse). We have unrealistic expectations for our school system......... worse still we want to compare our school system with the best (Finland, S. Korea and Singapore). The US is 29th in the world and we are not even on the radar ............... SMT
This has nothing to do with the character ot teachers per se. This has to do with the operations and character of the BUT Executive and by extension the tolerance of the membership for crooked leadership and/or abuse of union funds .......... please do not bash teachers.........the last bastion of civility in the country.
The government has $100 million to spend in Andros ............. even if it means duplicating contracts and splurging on the BAMSI pet project........... you een see nuttin yet!!! pre-election campaign spending een start yet.
The CJ is a pawn of the government .......... appointed by the PM. Please explain how he can do his job without tenure and without political interference??????? Just like the COP
Suspend with No Pay .................. Conduct an independent foresnsic audit and recover the monies that were misappropriated or stolen. The members of BUT must stand up ....... they are considered the teachers (lights) of the nation .............. the other Unions seem to be losing their credibility right now. teachers need to demand better from their BUT leaders.
