PM orders Commission of Inquiry

Retired Judge Justice Frederick Waterman will head a Commission of Inquiry into Alexandra School.
This was announced by Prime Minister Freundel Stuart a short while ago during a Press conference at Government Headquarters.
Stuart said Waterman will be required to make recommendations to the Government.
Stuart said the third term was a critical one for students taking exams. As a result, he said he did not intend for the students to be disturbed by this Commission of Inquiry.
The Prime Minister went on to say that he hopes he teachers will return to work.
Today there were reports of industrial action, but Mary Redman president of the Barbados Secondary Teachers’ Union (BSTU) said there will be “some relaxation” to accommodate fifth form students at Alexandra who are taking examinations.
