THE BARBADOS SECONDARY Teachers’ Union (BSTU) will be showing exactly how serious it is about violence against teachers from today.
President Mary Redman said a teacher who was attacked on three occasions and had his vehicle vandalised to the tune of $11 000, would be reporting for work as usual, but not at his assigned school.
“The ministry was written and from tomorrow [today] that person will report to work at his headquarters, which is the Ministry of Education. [We] told him to go and sit down in the sofa there for an hour or two.
“If there is no work for him to do, ask them, ‘Are you deploying me anywhere? No? Okay, you know where to find me’. He will do that every day and they’re going to find who the culprit is in quick time,” Redman told a meeting of the union at Solidarity House yesterday. (YB)
