Dr. Wayne Wesley made a few brief remarks during which he emphasized the council’s commitment to keeping the regional educational evaluation system at a high standard while addressing global trends and problems in education.
Regarding issues of grooming in schools on the island, the Ministry of Education, Sustainable Development, Innovation, Science, Technology, and Vocational Training is aware of circumstances at several schools that have provoked public controversy.
In order to handle the current difficulties holistically, the Ministry wants to reassure the general public that it is still dedicated to examining the existing positions.
As a result, the Ministry is dedicated to making sure that all pertinent parties are fully involved in an evaluation of this sort in order to determine the appropriate course of action.
The Transportation Subsidy Programme has received an update from Saint Lucia’s Ministry of Education, Sustainable Development, Innovation, Science, Technology, and Vocational Training, which has also requested parents and guardians of children enrolled in the program for their input. On Monday, September 5, 2022, the same buses from the previous school year will be used to resume the services.
