MINISTER OF EDUCATION RONALD JONES projects that all teachers in Barbados’ primary school system will be trained by 2020.
Introducing a resolution on the Public Service Teachers Order 2016 in the House today, Jones said Erdiston Teachers’ Training College was gearing up for the accelerated training in which 60 aspiring teachers graduating from secondary school and from the Barbados Community college will pursue the new four-year Bachelors of Education Primary degree at Erdiston.
Teachers with other qualifications, who are already in the system, will also be able to study for the degree over a shorter period, in an evening programme. (GC)
