The Bahamas Government and the private sector needs to stop talking about its support for budding athletic stars and DO more to get them to a point where they can go professional and GIVE back to the country.
This young man trains at UB and has local coaches. Will he be treated differently from those athletes who get American training at American schools? If so, it will tell a whole lot about our mindset.
It has sold out the local entrepreneur class to the importers. Ingraham destroyed the poultry industry when he allowed the importers to bring in as much chicken products as they wanted.
Why do we need a Commission for this? Another delay tactic to frustrate more Bahamian families? I'm sure the private schools don't waste their time with this diploma.
There is only one problem with the MOE diploma.
Just get rid of the credits criteria and it will be fine. A D grade should not force a student to recover credits. A D grade is good enough to pass BJC and get GPA. Why is it not good enough for a credit? There is NO justifiable reason that the MOE can give for this anomaly.
An F grade is an F. It already affects your GPA. Why create a double jeopardy and make the F cause a student not get a worthless credit? Or make a teacher violate their professional ethics by erasing the F by giving an easy make up test???? Get rid of the credits criteria. Period.
There is NO need for any 242 high school credits. They serve NO purpose or value. We don't need to copy that American crap. UB doesn't accept 242 HS credits.

This woman is phenomenal.
She is worth over $100 Million.
And Tribune is so clueless that her husband (Maicel Uibo) is called her wife in another article. An apology is required.

Until we HANG those found guilty of murder, this crime situation will not stop.
But all we hear from this PLP government is that they are building a new $45M prison block and 2 new churches for the criminals.
What about the law abiding citizens who are victims of crimes???? There seems to be no fairness and justice for law abiding citizens.

Our 242 Government is to blame.
It has sold out the local entrepreneur class to the importers. Ingraham destroyed the poultry industry when he allowed the importers to bring in as much chicken products as they wanted.
That is why our poultry industry is dead today.
