BUT’s back to school message

The following statement was issued by president of the Barbados Union of Teachers, Rudy Lovell, ahead of the new academic year.

As we begin a new academic year, the Barbados Union of Teachers extends warm greetings and best wishes to all of our members, Ministry of Education Transformation officials, parents and, most importantly, our students.

Education remains one of the most powerful investments we can make in our children and in the future of Barbados. It is through education that we equip our young people with the knowledge, skills, confidence and character to realise their potential and contribute meaningfully to our nation.
