Teachers begin talks on violence in schools

Teachers are gathering at Solidarity House, the headquarters of the Barbados Workers’ Union,  to find solutions to violence in schools.

President of the Barbados Secondary Teachers Union Mary-Ann Redman says the union will also present a new protocol it has developed to guide teachers who feel “threatened or attacked” on the job.

“The protocol will give teachers insight on what they should do when certain things happen and so on,” said Redman.

She told Barbados TODAY that teachers are very enthusiastic about the meeting.
