FORMER PRINCIPAL Jeff Broomes is accusing president of the Barbados Secondary Teachers Union (BSTU), Mary Redman, of sending mixed messages concerning the marking of school-based assessments (SBAs).

“For the last few years, the president of the BSTU has been telling her teachers not to correct SBAs, saying they’re not doing it, but now there’s a problem with the SBAs this year and [even though] the investigation has now started, she’s in the paper blaming CXC,” he said.

“What has happened this year is nothing new and I suspect when the investigation is done, it will be a computer glitch.”

Broomes was delivering the Astor B. Watts lunchtime lecture on Friday at the Democratic Labour Party’s George Street, Belleville, St Michael headquarters. (CA)
