Seems typical Burt, all talk and ideas and no substance. Bermuda needs leaders now. Photo ops don’t cut it. Could we get some of Cayman’s leaders on contract? Less messy than the UK coming in.

The biggest problem with the Ministry of Education is that it is top heavy. Way too many senior admin people taking home paychecks for doing surprisingly little. Trim the fat and get rid of the non-performers so that there will be money to spend on the tools that teachers need. Then maybe some effort can be made to upgrade and not band aid fix the networks and infrastructure of the schools not called Berkeley.

The private schools have upgraded facilities, buildings in great shape, pools, climbing walls, tech STEAM / STEM programs, working tech equipment, and they do it all while spending I believe 30% less per child! Their board members work to make their schools better, teachers are expected to perform and care about their students and students and parents work hard and get involved with fundraising through well-organized fairs, raffles and more.

We are are done hearing about “what you are going to do” and “how things will get better” . Just stop. You have had 20+ years and there is not one school (aside from Berkeley) not primary, middle, senior or even the Bermuda college that is well maintained and in better shape than when the PLP took over. Sorry but it is FACT and the sad thing is that the teachers and students pay for it, while everyone including most parents, remains quiet because they fear retribution against themselves or their child.
