How could the Minister of Education declare he knows nothing of this issue, one that obviously gravely impacts the quality of teaching in his own schools?
Is it a studious ignorance?
Goodness knows that’s been his pattern in every portfolio he’s been assigned..

Shouldn’t he be able to ascertain the undue burden this would have on every teacher?
Every student, whatever language they speak?

The Bahamas supposedly runs a “Public School” system, their mission to provide an equal opportunity for every child here. So it follows that if a child cannot speak english then this must afforded to her/him.

So it’s taken them 3 years to attain 30% of this project’s completion?
That puts substantial likely…by 2033 right?!

About the same time you posted this ‘atta boy’ for Bahamian rescue efforts the Lamar family announced they’d recovered one deceased family member’s body.
A few hours later they announced the recovery of all their dead relatives, pulling their bodies from the sea themselves.

Yes there were localized storms at Bahamas Air Traffic lost contact with the plane just after 11AM but these storms didn’t last all day.
Moreover videos show the family setting out to search from the Bahamas in calm conditions Monday evening.

So the questions are: why did the Bahamas wait 3 hours after the plane had presumably went down to call the US Coast Guard?
Why did the rbdf & rbpd which have far larger ships to ride out “deteriorating conditions” than these family members used not continue (or start?) searching?
How were they able to make this recovery in the same area supposedly being searched by Bahamas authorities?

And lastly what does it say about the dedication to their mission, and ability of Bahamas official government rescue ops to carry out that mission?
That the same day that their Father’s, their Grandfather’s plane disappeared they launched their own rescue mission?
What propelled them to set out themselves, appeal directly to boaters, pilots & fishermen (presumably in the absence of any from Bahamian authorities) and hire private rescue ops to assist in their recovery of their family members?

Makes one shiver to think of any reliance we might need…

What else is new….

It’s heartening to read that Justice Delancey’s finding that marriage is defined as a partnership between both parties of which each contributes.

And that Mme Justice acknowledges the difficulties and income limitations facing divorced women (especially those of middle age) returning to the workforce after years of absence.

Not in any official capacity.

So Eric Wilson the guy supposedly elected to safeguard the jobs of his fellow members of BEWU & ensuring their needs are met is in fact one of the main recipients who’ve profited from this corrupt overtime scheme.
And since by virtue of the power he’d possess over his union’s members, he’d also be in a position to leverage that power in a corrupt scheme for he & his mates to receive $600,000 in no-show “overtime”.

Yet he has not been suspended and/or charged?

When someone claims “The buck stops here” it usually means they have accepted responsibility for the issue(s) at hand.
Mr Davis however immediately blamed the 3 workers who are at the center of the BPL overtime scandal.

The PM has not now nor ever committed/presented a path forward to a solution with any transparency
Neither has he provided reports updating any of his government’s previous missives, plans and policy failures.

That the head of the very union organized to protect BPL workers is the person who’s made the most money in this scandal is just another corrupt campaign at criminal harassment and intimidation that has plagued this government.

Wilson complained that the information revealed about his so called ‘overtime’ was a distraction given the egregious management errors at BPL.
Yet his entitled attitude towards his own corruption is another plank of fuel in the overall pyre that is BPL.

And all those overtime hours he and his mates supposedly worked between Christmas and New Years (when there were no blackouts, emergencies etc) was nothing more than falsified hours added at the end of the year. The previous years will tell the same story.
And this is the guy in charge of protecting the rights of his fellow union members??
For shame!

Wondering the same thing myself!!
