Jamaica Teachers’ Association (JTA) President La Sonja Harrison says the association is waiting patiently to see the revised Jamaica Teaching Council (JTC) Bill before they are tabled, following assurances from Education Minister Senator Dr Dana Morris Dixon that the Government has accepted and acted on several of the teachers’ concerns.

Morris Dixon said the Government’s legal teams are now finalising the amendments after she personally reviewed the JTA’s submission.

“After that, I took all the concerns, I read them myself, went through the bill, wrote on the bill, ‘I agree with this from the JTA, we should do this,’ and have made changes,” the minister said yesterday at the JTA’s 62nd annual conference.
