DEVELOPING “small pockets” of violence in Barbados are causing some concern to Prime Minister Freundel Stuart.
Speaking to the Press yesterday afternoon on the approach of the country’s 49th anniversary of Independence, Stuart said while he was generally pleased with the progress in several areas, acts of violence and indifference had to be dealt with.
“I am not at all happy that there seems to be developing in some small pockets of the society a belief that, for example, the way to settle disputes is by acts of violence,” Stuart said.
He added that he was a little concerned that in some cases at the level of schools “sometimes you get the impression that some of our children do not understand the great opportunities that have been made available for them to fully exploit opportunities for learning and personal advancement”. (LK)
