Parents in Dominica are being called upon to continue working with the Ministry of Education in light of the increasing need for parent support.
This call was made by Assistant Chief Education Officer Dr. Jeffrey Blaize while delivering remarks at a presentation ceremony of books from a UK publisher held at the Newtown Primary School on Wednesday.
He indicated to parents that there is a lot to be done by the “parent community”.
“We want our parents to continue working with the Ministry of Education, continue supporting the students, because now more than ever we need the support of parents,” Blaize said.
He stated that the patience of parents is needed.
“We need the patience of parents, we need them to be tolerant of our work and work with us as we restore the education system to a sense of normalcy,” he said.
On Wednesday, UK-based publisher Hodder Education, presented school books estimated at £18,000 to the Ministry of Education.
coco mi gwaj, gwaj me coco. 6 of 1 half a dozen of the other. same song eachyear but education has a failing system. big degrees eating huge salary while teacher working like donkey.
you know 1 solution blaize, have the big degrees create daily lesson plans for each subject to give to the teachers so every child gets the same chance to the same education cause lets face it, some teachers fail to present good lesson plans and lessons. instead of sitting in aircon and going in workshops and meetings all year round, try that for a change.
second solution blaize, jack of all trades don’t work in education. every teacher has a passion. let them teach the passion. a teacher cannot effectively research, prep and teach 7 subjects at primary level plus cater for all differences. teachers need to do one or two subjects.
third solution blaize, (dominicas teachers are the least paid in the caribbean. sorry DA, haiti,)
fourth solution, some schools have inhumane environments
I really wish people would say what they mean and mean what they say. Didn’t you people say that Parents have no responsibility to their children except to send them to school? Now it’s a different song. That isn’t right.
So what are u saying that by going to school, the parents abdicate their responsibility? If you are a father or mother, you are still responsible for your child’s upbringing… going to school does not absolve of this Nahla!
