Industrial action at Alexandra School moved into its second day today with teachers again reporting to the Barbados Secondary Teachers’ union (BSTU) headquarters to strategise.
When NATIONNews spoke to union president Mary Redman earlier today, she said they had not yet heard from the Ministry of Education.
Teachers plan to continue to withdraw their services at Alexandra and other schools, if called upon, until such time as satisfactory action is taken.
The BSTU is calling for the separation of principal Jeff Broomes from the St Peter school.
The union has called an emergency general meeting at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre for 1 p.m. tomorrow. Members of the parent teacher association at Alexandra and the alumni are invited to attend.
