SHOCKED, UPSET, SCARED at the possibilities but not surprised.

That was the reaction of president of the Barbados Secondary Teachers’ Union (BSTU), Mary-Ann Redman, to the two videos showing several schoolgirls brawling and beating down one of their colleagues.

She has invited the Barbados National Council of Parent-Teacher Associations (BNCPTA) to meet with the union, possibly next Friday, to devise a united position on the violence in schools and make recommendations for its solution.

“We need to have a group comprised of all the teachers’ unions, the two principals’ unions, the NCPTA. We need to have the Barbados Police Force. We need to have the Ministry of Education and the Child Care Board,” she said. (HLE)
