Expanding Special Ed Across The Bahamas | Bahamas News
Description
Grand Bahama’s special education crisis is hitting hard—with over 50 kids waiting for Beacon School spots—prompting urgent action across the Bahamas. Officials are transforming Bartlett Hill Primary and Holmes Rock Junior High into expanded special needs hubs, complete with accessibility features and new diploma programs. Deputy Prime Minister Chester Cooper witnessed the backlog firsthand, fueling a national push to train 75 new teachers via the University of The Bahamas and partner with U.S. schools, aiming to hire 300 educators total—prioritizing Bahamians, but also looking globally—to ensure every child gets the support they need.
