The Ministry of Education yesterday launched an investigation into claims that an unqualified teacher is in classrooms at the Christ Church Foundation School.

The issue went viral on Wednesday night when a copy of a May 18 letter purportedly written to the school questioning the qualifications of the teacher, appeared on numerous social media platforms.

According to the letter, a lawyer was retained by parents questioning the academic qualifications of the man who is teaching mathematics and chemistry. The attorney said the matter needed urgent attention since it could affect the integrity of the educational institution.

Minister of Education Kay McConney confirmed they had started a probe. (BA)
