Schools Ready for Term with Major Upgrades | Bahamas News
Description
Schools across New Providence, Grand Bahama, and the Family Islands are nearly ready for the new term—85 to 95% complete—with $20 million invested to upgrade nearly 50 schools. Education Minister Chester Cooper and Prime Minister Philip Davis toured sites, praising progress on finishing touches like tiling, painting, and AC installation. Contractors are on track to finish on time and under budget, ensuring safer, more comfortable learning environments with upgraded security and playgrounds. To tackle teacher shortages, about 100 Bahamian educators have been hired, with foreign hires in active vetting. The ministry is also boosting digital readiness, drawing from pandemic lessons to strengthen virtual learning tools for students and teachers alike—all aimed at a strong, fully staffed start to the school year.
