*“Now I’ve not heard the minister say that teachers will receive a laptop or device for them to work from. And, if we say that we moving into the virtual or online learning, then the pens, pencils, paper and white boards are now obsolete. So if you are telling me that I am moving into the virtual sphere, then the expectation is that you will give me my tools and those tools are laptops, tablets or iPads for me to deliver this instruction and education that you are now saying is mandatory for me to deliver.”*
Amazing how she hears the Minister announce the date for school to open but she doesn't hear him also mention in the same speech that teachers will get laptops.
Belinda and her union is one of the greatest impediments to the education system in this country.
How is it 2 non nationals on separate occasions bring drugs into the country and gets less than 1 year? If a Bahamian does it they will spend eternity in jail? Something is wrong in our judiciary and needs to be fixed.
*“We are putting together a phases opening and that is being done not only by us but we have what you call a national COVID committee, which comprises of elements of the private sector, the chamber of commerce etcetera,” Dr Minnis said.*
Fine, but how do you seek to open up on Monday without those metrics? The metrics should have already been in place and communicated to the public. I see a third wave coming.
Why are all of our governments so New Providence centric? Could the government not have taken that $10 million and built a new hospital in Grand Bahama? Or use it to build a bridge between Abaco and Grand Bahama to connect those two economies and spur development? Or build a hospital in Long Island? It is time our governments learn that the Bahamas is more than New Providence.
Forgive me but what the hell Chester think the finances are? No money coming in and the government spending money. Sometimes you wonder if people live under a rock or they just do stuff for political spin.
Why don't these tired union leaders do something. Why don't they step up and provide some PPEs? Oh, unions are only leeches and parasites. They take, but don't give.
If they could fast track it, then that same fast tracking could be the norm to always move things quickly. We can no longer expect incompetent slow service from civil servants. Efficiency and expediency must become a mantra.
