Nassau, Bahamas - As Minister of Labour and National
Insurance, I would like to thank Bahamian teachers for their untiring
commitment to developing our future leaders. As a former Trade Union
Leader, I also salute the solidarity of The Bahamas Union of Teachers
as it strives to enhance the welfare of its members.
This year’s theme “Take a stand
for teachers!” calls on all of us to pause and reflect on the invaluable
service that teachers render to our country.
My Ministry therefore joins with
such international organisations as UNESCO, the International Labour
Organisation (ILO), the UNDP, UNICEF, and Education International (EI).in
celebrating this important day as we wish for all teachers a happy "World
Teachers Day."
May God Bless Teachers everywhere
and may God bless the Commonwealth of The Bahamas.
