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.
