Berkeley Student Impresses Cabinet Ministers
A teenage high school student drew praise from the Premier after making a presentation to Cabinet yesterday, pushing for more Bermudian history to be taught in schools.
Berkeley Institute S4 student Kiaaron Minks made the presentation to Cabinet, advocating for the expansion of the current academic curriculum to include a wider and more relevant approach to Bermudian history.
The young Berkeleyite’s appeal came during a presentation by educator Max Hull who will publish a series of books for use in the public school system. Written by former reading specialist Colwyn “Junior” Burchall, The Icon Series will chronicle the lives of social justice advocates and organizations in Bermuda.
Premier Dr Brown said, “Mr. Minks represents a new breed of Bermudian. One who looks you in the eye and is unafraid to speak confidently and passionately for what he believes in. Cabinet was very impressed by his presentation and we expect great things from this young man.”
