Government is instituting a Common Entrance Exam approach to the appointment of principals for secondary schools. Those who get the “most” marks will go to the “higher ranked” schools.
Correspondence from the Ministry of Education earlier this month to prospective principals outlined the process, and followed wide-scale speculation across the teaching service that a number of educators who applied for specific vacancies were now being considered for schools for which they never even expressed an interest.
The ministry is now working to fill five posts of secondary school principal and SUNDAY SUN sources said they have been ranked in the following order: Harrison College, The St Michael School, Lester Vaughan School, Graydon Sealy Secondary and Grantley Adams Memorial Secondary.
