The Barbados Union of Teachers (BUT) will be at Alma Parris School in Speightstown tomorrow morning.
After giving the Ministry of Education until last Friday to resolve the “clashing timetables” and other protracted issues, union president Pedro Shepherd told the SUNDAY SUN that a faxed letter he received from Chief Education Officer Laurie King at 6:28 p.m. on Friday had done nothing in terms of a resolution.
A meeting at the ministry with the deputy principal and the senior teacher at Alma Parris on Friday ended with a request from the ministry for the finished timetable to be ready by next week Tuesday, in the second week of the term. It gave no indication how classes would proceed from tomorrow, the start of the school year.
The letter also informed that a full inspection of the school, starting September 23, was to be carried out and the BUT had been invited to nominate someone to serve on the inspection team. The team is expected to present a report to the ministry no later than October 25.
