CORAL SPRING, Trelawny — Education Minister Senator Dr Dana Morris Dixon says the long-delayed Jamaica Teaching Council (JTC) Bill has been finalised for tabling in Parliament following further consultations with the Jamaica Teachers’ Association (JTA).

Morris Dixon made the disclosure on Wednesday, the third and final day of the 62nd JTA Annual General Conference at Ocean Coral Spring hotel in Trelawny.

She was responding to a question from the floor by Dean Palmer, a member of the JTA’s Montego Bay District Association Two, who asked whether the Education Transformation and Oversight Committee (ETOC) or the minister had engaged the teachers’ union on concerns it had raised about the legislation.
