The Barbados Union of Teachers (BUT) has called for better healthcare, more manageable workloads and additional leave following the deaths of four educators under the age of 50.
At a union reception, president Rudy Lovell warned that growing demands on teachers were taking a toll on their health and well-being.
He said: “Teachers are human beings before they are educators. They work long hours, their bodies become exhausted, and their minds are overworked. But amidst these challenges, they often carry their worries silently.”
