The Dominica Association of Teachers (DAT) has recognized and awarded three teachers who contributed significantly to education in Dominica.
The awards were presented by President of the DAT Celia Nicholas to Rayner Henderson, former principal of the Grandbay Primary School; Oliver Samuel, retiree of the Petite Savanne Primary School; Eugenia Joseph Blanc, retiree from the Trafalgar Primary School.
Speaking at the 19th Annual General Meeting of the DAT at the St. Alphonsus Parish Hall in Goodwill on Wednesday April 19th, Chairperson and Public Relations Officer of the DAT, Juanita Carbon, stated that these person have shown dedication in their field.
“We thank them for their dedicated service to education in Dominica and also to the Dominica Association of Teachers. Thank you very much,” she remarked.
Unfortunately, the awardees were not present at the AGM, and so representatives received the awards on their behalf.
Valencia Webb, Education International, The Canadian Teachers Federation, Dalrymple and Associates, and the Central Cooperative Credit Union were also acknowledged for their contribution to DAT.
No thank you DAT! You want to give a little piece of wood to teachers after they work HARD for umpteen years? No thank you. What about the dedicated teacher who are presently working their behinds off? What do they get? You are still “fighting” for 0.00% increase? Or is it job classification still? You know what you need to do? Lemme tell you – Fight to get teachers more recognition now, not when they old and brittle. Fight for insurance on the job… fight for job security… fight for decent salaries…
Give me a break! No thank you DAT… No thank you.
Off with dem heads!!!
Congrats to all!
They do right doh come. It would be much nicer if you was able to negotiate to award the teachers with an increase in salary. You continue to accept 000, just because you RED.
I support U 100%+
