At least 60 schools are said to have been impacted by the sickout led by the Barbados Union of Teachers (BUT).

President Rudy Lovell told the Nation Online while schools were opened, many were understaffed.

The BUT is advocating the restoration for term’s leave to conditions prior to 2014.
Efforts so far to reach Chief Education Officer Dr Ramona Archer-Bradshaw were futile.

Among the schools affected are:

  • Frederick Smith Secondary
  • Thelma Berry Nursery
  • Grantley Prescod Memorial
  • Gordon Walters Primary
  • Sharon Primary
  • St. Mark’s Primary
  • Wesley Hall Junior
  • St. George Primary
  • Roland Edwards Primary
  • Workman’s Primary
  • St. Giles Primary
  • Luther Thorne Memorial
  • St. Philip Primary
  • L.T. Gay Memorial
  • Westbury Primary
  • St. Stephen’s Primary
  • St. Bartholomew Primary
  • Ann Hill School
  • Welches Primary
  • Belmont Primary
  • Gazettes Primary
  • St. Gabriel’s School
  • Bay Primary School
