BSTU Decries Mass Transfers to and From Alexandra School
The long-running impasse between the Barbados Secondary Teachers Union and the Principal of the Alexandra Secondary School escalated to a new level with the decision by the office of the Chief Personnel Officer to transfer a number of teachers. BSTU claims that that the transfers were punishment for "all the teachers, save one" who testified before the Commission of Inquiry. " President of the BSTU, Mary Redman expressed her outrage and utter disappointment while condemning the manner in which the Ministry has sought to deal with the teachers.
The commission of inquiry was called to investigate the claims against the school's administration, specifically its Principal Mr. Jeff Brooms who has been at odds with teachers and their union for a considerable period of time.
Anguilla Teachers Stage Sit-in
President of the Anguilla Teachers Union Emma Ferguson told The Daily Herald that teachers will decide how long the sit-in will last. She said the union had written Chief Minister Hubert Hughes and other members of Government since January 8, asking for a reply in seven days, but no reply had been received up to yesterday so it was decided to start the sit-in. She said that the disregard for the letter shows that the leaders do not respect or value the country's educators. "We will not standby and allow you to continue to disrespect our profession," the union stated in its letter.
