As the opening of the new school year dawns, the Minister of Education and Personnel Affairs Hon. Peter St. Jean, calls on teachers and school heads to reaffirm their commitment to the continued enhancement of the quality of the education produced in Dominica.
“These officers must be commended and complemented for the efforts that they are putting in educating our people,” the Minister said.
His praise comes on the heels of the recently released 2010 Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) results, which shows Dominica to have improved by 4.4% in its academic performance.
“The results show that hard work brings sure results,” he said.
Chief Education Officer – Mr. Stephenson Hyacinth said, “the ministry is pleased with the performances of our schools in CXC Examinations this year and we express out thanks and appreciation to all principles, teachers and parents for their hard and excellent work.”
The education chief joins the Minister in calling on teachers to carry this stride through to the coming school year.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Education said his Ministry has continued to emphasize that the young people of Dominica have the potential to do well.
“When these things happen we at government needs to give recognition to whom recognition is due,” he said.

well sometimes when Mnistry of Education Officials make speeches I wonder how honest they are. I believe that the teachers and studetns work real hard but people need to stop pretending. Thsi is for you Mr. CEO. Thank God that the teachers do not depend on your praises to do their work., they do their jobs well because they have to give an account to God.
Not long ago teachers were riidicule and being called lazy.. Now they are hard workers eh?
What about de salary increase..
Congratulations to everyone in the service of educating our youth, special recognition to all the teachers, you all do a great job, and please continue. As a former teacher I know its not easy, but hold strong, give it your all, as you shape the lives of these young ones, who will be our managers, ministers, prime ministers and presidents etc. in time to come. To my good friend Steve Hyacinth, GOOD JOB, keep up the good work, with integrity and honour. I always knew you had it in you from school days.
I agree. The teachers are the ones who deserve all the recognition for the hard work
@gee: Thank you very much for recognizing that, I am in the service and I can tell you sometimes it is an up-hill task involved in teaching and formation. Thank God for the strength, and the commitment of dedicated teachers.
Teachers let us teach as if our lives depended on it.
Let us look beyond the odds as we prepare the citizens of tomorrow!!
Go Teachers!!
While most people concentrate their efforts on Principals,Education Officers,etc,my praises go to the teachers,(most) who through thick and thin,sometimes without a proper meal, labour hard with the children to ensure that they learn and excell.Sometimes it is hugely unfair to praise principals and hardly mention teachers,when some principals do very lousy jobs,but despite that some teachers through self motivation,manage to work wonders with our children..HURRAY TO YOU ALL TEACHERS!!!!!
