Prime Minister Freuundel Stuart last night announced that two newer secondary schools will be getting sixth forms.

It will be the first time that newer secondary schools in Barbados will be having educational opportunities at this level.

Stuart did not give a time frame, nor did he disclose the names of the schools.

He made the announcement at a joint meeting of the St Andrew and St Joseph branches of the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) held at the Chalky Mount Primary School.

Posted by shabizz asban 1 year ago: @pan wallie"'are you being sarcastic"? consider the demographics, he was in a meeting with constituents from two parishes but conveyed news that will benefit all other parishes, in addition why do we find it so hard to give JACK HIS JACKET, you support his appointment of a 81 yearold man ,support the minister of education, who would not or could not do his job, and mr. stuart had to be summoned as a final call,question here is, is it your opinion that the prime minister only qualifies to be blamed ,but disqualified to be credited?

Posted by Pan Wallie 1 year ago: @ Shabizz Asban: I am sorry you see it the way you do, but that is why I also see him as overwhelmed and non functional. I don't want to say dysfunctional. He can't do everything. He appointed a Minister of Education, let that Minister address with things educational, even at political meetings. It is called management. In any event everybody knows how and why I feel that Minister should have been differently placed. Tell us about his plans for Barbados. Okay, the PM saw the need to intervene back then, he couldn't even afford the time and teachers were staked out awaiting his arrival. what if he has to intervene in all the other ministries? The 81 year old man I supported is more than deserving of that honour. I will support whenever, wherever and however I think it is due.
